Jake Johnson is set to star opposite Tatiana Maslany in the upcoming dark comedy thriller series “Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed” at Apple TV+.
The show was originally announced in February with Maslany in the lead role. The logline states that the show is about “a newly divorced mom (Maslany) who falls down a dangerous rabbit hole of blackmail, murder, and youth soccer.”
Johnson will star as Karl, Paula’s ex-husband.

He also previously appeared in the critically-acclaimed “Mythic Quest” episode “A Dark Quiet Death” for Apple. His other recent TV credits include “History of the World Part II,” “Minx,” and the animated series “Hoops.” In film, Johnson is known for lending his voice to the “Spider-Verse” franchise as well as films like “Self Reliance,” “Ride the Eagle,” and “Win It All,” all of which wrote. He made his feature directorial debut with “Self Reliance.”
