Samberg, who left "SNL" in June, has signed on to star in an upcoming project from "Parks and Recreation" co-creator and showrunner Mike Schur.
The untitled project, which has received a pilot order from Fox, is about a diverse group of police detectives in New York City. Schur is co-writing the project with "Parks and Recreation" writer Dan Goor; both will executive-produce.
The single-camera comedy has received a put-pilot commitment from Fox, meaning that the network is subject to financial penalties if the pilot doesn't air.
The comedy comes from Universal Television and 3 Arts Entertainment.
Samberg will also be starring in the upcoming BBC 3 comedy series "Cuckoo," as a slacker full of outlandish, New Age ideas who marries a British woman, much to her parents' dismay.
Deadline first reported the news of Samberg joining the Schur project.
