The series is still in the planning stages as the series has not been given a title or a network or streaming service yet.

Thinkfactory CEO Adam Reed shared: "This partnership and new series fall right into Thinkfactory's wheelhouse, offering a unique new format with incredibly vibrant and passionate individuals at its centre.

"Carole and Howard are fun, intense, unpredictable, wildly driven, and, oh yeah, they've very recently become pop culture sensations.

"We're excited this project will offer them an opportunity to propel their work in unconventional and heart-pounding new ways."
