Dylan O’Brien is set for the lead role in the Hulu comedy pilot “Lex,” Variety has learned.

The pilot order for the project was originally announced in March. The logline for the show states that it follows Lex (O’Brien), “a disgraced former reality star who accidentally films a murder in the background of a $20 Cameo video, and finds himself at the center of a global conspiracy — and on the run from powerful forces who want him dead. Using the skills he acquired navigating reality TV’s toxic social dynamics, Lex must fight to not get killed, to expose the truth, and most importantly… to get back on TV.”
