Brad Paisley will star in a new TV comedy for Amazon called Fish Out Of Water.

The comedy is described as a "Larry Sanders" style show taking a behind-the-scenes look at Brad's struggle to keep a fishing show from turning into chaos.

The Hollywood Reporter reports that after a multi-outlet bidding war, Amazon came out the winner of the comedy. Paisley will star in the show, playing the part of one of the executive producers. In the show he's be teamed with comedian Will Arnett, along with A.D. Miles, Peter Principato, Marc Forman and more.

Brad posted to Instagram, "Some fun things brewing... Oh, and as far as bidding wars go, I’m a tough one. Well, right up until @amazon dangled free shipping, then I caved.
