Hulu is making fun of itself with its newest comedy series, "Reboot." The show is about the fictional reboot of a beloved sitcom, and all the drama that goes on behind the scenes as old writers and cast members react to a different world. In the trailer, released Aug. 23, there are even some jokes at Hulu's expense.

The cast of "Reboot" includes Keegan-Michael Key, Judy Greer, Johnny Knoxville, and Calum Worthy as the stars of the fake show they're reviving, "Step Right Up!" "Crazy Ex-Girlfriend" star and creator Rachel Bloom plays the creator of the reboot, and "Stranger Things" star Paul Reiser plays the old show's head writer. Krista Marie Yu plays a fake Hulu executive.

Key's Reed Sterling is a very serious actor who tried to break out into film roles and failed. Greer's Bree Marie Larson also didn't find fame and fortune after the original show ended, instead ending up on what looks like a bad "Star Trek" rip-off. Meanwhile, Knoxville plays Clay Barber, usually a filthy standup comedian whose one acting job was this show. He's since gotten into major trouble with the law. Steve Levitan, who created "Modern Family," is the show's real creator.
