Tracy Morgan already announced a comeback tour for this February (we can't wait), but it looks like the comedian will bless us with at least one other major project this year. According to Variety, he and Key and Peele starJordan Peele will team up for a comedy pilot on FX. The two were set to collaborate for the network before Morgan was involved in a car crash in 2014, and the plan is back on track now Morgan has made a full recovery.

"The new project will see Morgan playing a career criminal who struggles to reintegrate into society after serving a 15-year prison sentence," Variety writes. Peele and comedian John Carcieri will write the pilot and executive produce it along with two other Key and Peele veterans. Nick Grad, president of programming at FX, said what we're all thinking: "What an unbeatable combination—Tracy Morgan and Jordan Peele—two exceptional comics." 

Much like the entire cast of Saturday Night Live, we couldn't be more thrilled that Morgan is back to doing what he does best. We just hope Keegan-Michael Key doesn't get too jealous.
