Will Ferrell's production company, Gary Sanchez Productions, has inked a deal with US cable network HBO for a new single-camera comedy series called 'P.E.'.

The Hollywood Reporter says the series tells the story of a man who fails to make the grade as a major league baseball pitcher and returns to his hometown in the South to teach physical education in his old school and repair the bridges he burned.
