Michael Douglas, Alan Arkin to star in Netflix comedy

Veteran actors Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin are set to feature in a Chuck Lorre comedy series for Netflix titled, "The Kominsky Method".

Lorre is attached to pen the script, with two-time Academy Award winner Douglas playing Sandy Kominsky, an actor who years ago had a brief fling with success and is now a revered acting coach, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Arkin plays his long-suffering agent and friend, Norman.

Warner Bros Television will executive produce the 10- episode single-camera series.

"I wrote a script and we sent it to them and they said yes. I'm so excited to work with people that I've admired for 45-50 years.

"'Streets of San Francisco' is the first time I saw Michael. Alan Arkin in 'The Russians Are Coming, The In- Laws...' I didn't expect them both to sign on," Lorre said.
