Comedian Stephen Colbert to make animated series on Trump

The cable network ordered 10 episodes of the half-hour show, which will premiere this fall. The as-yet-untitled show will be a mockumentary-style workplace comedy that doubles as a character study. 

According to a statement it will “present the truish adventures of Trump’s confidants and bon vivants – family, top associates, heads of government, golf pros and anyone else straying into his orbit – intrepidly exploring their histories and their psyches, revealing insights into what makes them so definitively Trumpian.” 

The show will operate on a tight production schedule that will allow it to react to current events.
