Hulu has picked up a new politically-themed series starring comedian Sarah Silverman, the OTT service announced Monday.

The Funny Or Die-produced series, I Love You, America, stars Silverman discussing the current political/emotional landscape of the country. According to Hulu, Silverman will look 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.”

Silverman will serve as executive producer of the series along with Will Ferrell, Adam McKay and Amy Zvi.
