Sarah Silverman will try to bring America together with her new Hulu show.

Hulu has ordered 10 episodes of the comedian’s weekly half-hour topical series, which is tentatively titled I Love You, America. On the show, Silverman will discuss “the current political and emotional landscape of the country” and attempt to connect with people who don’t share her views.

Here’s the series’ logline:

“From inciting treason to telling poop jokes, Sarah Silverman has created her fair share of online chatter, but with this show she’s looking to connect with people who may not agree with her personal opinions through honesty, humor, genuine interest in others, and not taking herself too seriously. While it’s great to connect with like-minded people, Silverman feels it’s crucial, now more than ever, to connect with un-like-minded people. She is teaming up with producers Adam McKay, Will Ferrell, and Funny Or Die, in creating a show setting out to expose the fact that we are all the same. Oh, and it will be funny too.”

I Love You, America is executive produced by Silverman, Ferrell, McKay, and Amy Zvi.

The show’s premiere date has yet to be announced. Silverman’s upcoming Netflix stand-up special debuts May 30.
