The National’s Matt Berninger is developing a new TV show with his brother Tom. The siblings starred in 2013 semi-documentary ‘Mistaken For Stars’. The new project will be “more scripted”, said the musician.

“I’m in a band [in the show]”, Berninger told Australian radio station Double J. “It’s a bunch of guys from different bands that we’ve known and been friends with for a long time who play the band. And Aaron [Dessner, National guitarist] kind of is in it as a producer, sort of as himself but not really. We’re hoping it’s a comedy. It’s something we’ve been cooking for a while”.

He added that his brother will play himself, because he “can’t play anybody else”.

As for when the show is likely to air, they were unclear, except that it wouldn’t be this year.
