Back in January, HBO ordered a comedy pilot called Togetherness, created by sibling directing duo Mark and Jay Duplass, and now, the pilot is going to series. THR reports that HBO has ordered a first season of the show, set to start filming in 2014. Written, directed, and produced by the brothers, Togetherness stars Mark Duplass as a guy with a wife (Melanie Lynskey), two kids, and a good job who has problems beneath the surface. Amanda Peet plays Lynskey’s character’s sister, who is considering moving from Houston to LA to be closer to her sister. Steve Zissis is playing a struggling actor who has just become homeless, and Duplass’s character is his only friend in the world. This is the Duplass Brothers’ first TV project, following years of microbudget movies like Jeff, Who Lives at Home and Cyrus.
