Darren Criss returns to original songs in the new Quibi series “Royalties.” Playing a songwriter for hire alongside Kether Donohue in the 10-episode comedy, the duo navigates the sometimes shameless world of jingles and pop songs. Criss co-wrote and executive-produced the series with longtime collaborators Nick and Matt Lang, fellow co-founders of YouTube sensation Team Starkid. The series is produced by FOX SideCar Entertainment.

To coincide with the June 1 premiere of “Royalties,” Republic Records will release the first three songs from the show, which will feature performances by Jordan Fisher, Julianne Hough, Jackie Tohn, Bonnie McKee, Jennifer Coolidge, Lil Rel Howery, Rufus Wainwright and Sabrina Carpenter. Mark Hamill also makes an appearance in the series and on the album, playing what looks to be a country singer. (Watch the trailer below.)
