Simpsons writer and producer Tim Long has started work on a dating-themed comedy for Showtime.

Kevin And The Chart Of Destiny will follow a lonely market researcher who devises an elaborate dating system which will find him a wife within a year.

"I was fascinated by the idea of people who are relatively smart at most things in life but tragically inept at dating," Long told The Hollywood Reporter.

"This project is a love letter/apology to all the women I took on tragic dates."

Speaking about working with Showtime, he added: "They have obviously been willing to push the frontiers of what is on TV.

"Their shows are all very provocative and also have soul."
