Actor George Clooney will direct and star in what the New York Daily News calls a ‘six-part limited series” based on Joseph Heller’s famous novel, Catch-22.

Catch-22 is a rare story that has withstood the test of time, not only as a literary masterpiece, but as a story that still resonates in today’s political and social conversation,” said Joel Stillerman, the chief content officer at Hulu, where the show will stream.

Clooney will reportedly portray Col. Cathcart.
