David Walliams has revealed that he and Matt Lucas are working on a new series.
The Little Britain duo are currently penning a combination sketch comedy and sitcom, which is expected to air in late 2010, BBC News reports.
He said: "We're really, really excited and just sort of starting work on that now, so hopefully that will be on towards the end of next year.
"We're really confident about it and really pleased with how it's going. But it's very early days."
HBO, which aired Little Britain USA last year, will co-produce the as-yet-untitled project along with the BBC.
Walliams explained: "[HBO] really loved Little Britain USA and wanted us to do more but we felt we wanted to do something fresh. Especially for our audience in Britain."
The 38-year-old added that the creative process is his way of helping Lucas cope with the death of ex-husband Kevin McGee, saying: "We try and make each other laugh."
