Danny DeVito and Aubrey Plaza are set to star in Little Demon, a new animated horror sitcom for FXX. DeVito's daughter Lucy will also star, and Rick and Morty co-creator Dan Harmon will executive produce alongside Plaza and DeVito Senior. 

The sitcom will follow a reluctant mother (Plaza), who, 13 years after being impregnated by the Devil (Danny DeVito) is attempting to live a normal life in Delaware with her Antichrist daughter (Lucy DeVito). However, the pair are constantly thwarted by monstrous forces, including Satan, who wants custody of his daughter’s soul.

Like DeVito Senior, Plaza is also no stranger to the sitcom – she's known for her role as April in Parks and Recreation. Her next movie project is the comedy Spin Me Around alongside Alison Brie. She recently starred in the thriller Black Bear and she's currently filming Five Eyes, an upcoming spy movie from Guy Ritchie, alongside Jason Statham and Hugh Grant.
