I didn’t even know this was happening, but I’m totally on board. Andy Samberg and Girls writer/producer Murray Miller are teaming up for HBO’s 7 Days in Hell, a sports mockumentary about Wimbledon which The Hollywood Reporter describes thusly:

The one-off HBO Comedy Event is described as a sports mockumentary starring Samberg and Game of Thrones breakout Kit Harington as fierce tennis rivals in an epic, seven-day match at Wimbledon. Samberg will play Aaron Williams, a superstar tennis “bad boy,” while Harington is set as Charles Lloyd Poole, an Andy Murray-type prodigy and certified truck driver who takes on Williams at Wimbledon 2004.

Directing duties will be handled by Saturday Night Live vet Jake Szymanski, but more importantly, check out the rest of this cast:

Will Forte

Lena Dunham

Fred Armisen

Karen Gillan

Howie Mandel

Michael Sheen

June Squibb

Soledad O’Brien

Mary Steenburgen

I need this to come out, like, yesterday.
