Murai and Dunham will produce Bushido alongside Ari Aster and Lars Knudsen for Square Peg, and Julia Oh, Christine D’Souza Gelb and David Hinojosa for 2AM.

Murai has made quite a name for himself in Hollywood. He served as a director and executive producer of Atlanta, Donald Glover’s hit show. He has also served as an executive producer of the equally beloved TV show The Bear.

Back in 2022, Murai hinted at wanting to develop a larger project in an Interview magazine feature with Spike Jonze.

“I’m also trying to develop features and different series. I’m following whatever is exciting to me at the moment and hope that the end result works,” he said at the time. “People ask me if I want to do a movie, but I keep thinking about seeing your short with the two robots [I’m Here] in college and thinking you can use any framework to tell a story. So I guess I’ve been trying to think about being medium agnostic. As long as there’s something sparking inside of it, it doesn’t matter what it is.”
