Amazon Studios is producing a half-hour comedy series called Betas. The story revolves around four nerds "and their quest for nerd fame as they attempt to crack the ultimate code." The show is written by Evan Endicott and Josh Stoddard, produced by Michael Lehmann, Alan Freedland, Alan Cohen and Michael London, and will star Ed Begley Jr, Jon Daly, Joe Dinicol, Margo Harshman, Charlie Saxton and Karan Soni.

“Amazon is giving us a chance to work outside the TV bureaucracies and connect directly with audiences hungry for original content, and Betas is the perfect match for that model,” said Michael London. “Betas is a half-hour comedy about a group of tech-savvy millennials trying to connect with the world both personally and professionally.”
