Burning Love will premiere this Spring on the comedy channel on Yahoo Screen, the site’s revamped video hub that launched last fall with a slate of original programming including shows from mega-star Tom Hanks and America’s Funniest Home Videos producer Vin di Bona.

The series will be executive produced by Stiller, Stuart Cornfeld, and Mike Rosenstein from Red Hour, and Abominable Pictures’ Jonathan Stern (who produced web series Wainy Days, Childrens Hospital, and Horrible People), along with Marino and writer Erica Oyama.

Stiller is making some waves in the online video space with The Fake Trailer Project, which ran with Tropic Thunder’s spoof movie trailers, Billy Glimmer, in which Stiller plays a Las Vegas entertainer, an animated Zoolander web series from Paramount Digital, and Yahoo original Stiller and Meara starring Stiller’s own parents.
