Phoebe Waller-Bridge has set her new Amazon project after the Emmy-winning hit “Fleabag,” TheWrap has learned. Amid re-upping her Amazon overall deal, the writer-executive producer is developing a series adaptation of Claudia Lux’s “Sign Here,” billed as a dark comedy about a man who works in hell.

The logline is as follows: “A darkly humorous, utterly gripping debut novel about a guy who works in Hell (literally). Peyote Trip has a pretty good gig in the deals department on the fifth floor of Hell. Sure, none of the pens work, the coffee machine has been out of order for a century, and the only drink on offer is Jägermeister, but it’s still Hell and after waiting a millennium he comes up with a plan that might just change his life (and death) forever.”
