The Safdie Brothers are producing a 2-part documentary on Paul Reubens for HBO

In an unlikely but extremely exciting bit of news, HBO has announced that the Safdie Brothers are producing a 2-part documentary on the life of Paul Reubens, best known as Pee-Wee Herman.

Described as a “kaleidoscopic portrait told in two parts,” the upcoming series is directed by Matt Wolf (Spaceship Earth) and produced by Emma Tillinger Koskoff (The Irishman), Sebastian Bear-McClard (Uncut Gems, Good Time), and Josh and Benny Safdie (Uncut Gems, Good Time).

Paul Reubens had the following to say about the project: “I’ve been working with HBO since they were called Home Box Office! I’m honored and excited to continue my long history there. I love HBO, but I’m not going to marry them.”

A release date for the film has not been announced yet.
