The gig comes as Scheer's resume continues to expand. His long-running FX fantasy football comedy, The League, returns for its fourth season Thursday, while his Adult Swim procedural parody NTSF:SD:SUV was recently renewed for a third. In addition to creator, he serves as executive producer, director, writer and star of the latter.

Over on the big screen, Scheer will next appear in horror comedy Hell Baby, about expecting parents (played by Leslie Bibb and Rob Corddry) who move into a haunted house in New Orleans, prompting them to request help from a Vatican exorcism team.
