Variety is reporting that The Leftovers star Justin Theroux has signed on for a guest role in Maniac, the upcoming Netflix series featuring Emma Stone and Jonah Hill.

Maniac is based upon a Norwegian series and follows a man who lives a fantasy life in his dreams, whilst locked up in a mental institution. Superbad co-stars Stone and Hill will both play patients in the institution, as well as executive producing alongside Cary Fukunaga, who also directs.
