Tiger is a futuristic soldier in a video game called Cybergeddon, who recruits Josh to time-travel to the past to save the future. She’s headstrong and has to keep her cohorts — the dim-witted Josh and her partner Wolf — on track with their mission, but also hides a secret of her own.

Coupe has previously appeared on Hulu’s Casual and can be seen in a recurring role on ABC’s Quantico. Written and exec-produced by Kyle Unter and Ariel Schaffir, the pilot of Future Man will be directed by Rogen and Goldberg, who also serve as executive producers alongside James Weaver and Matt Tolmach. The comedy is backed by Sony Pictures Television, Rogen’s Point Grey Pictures, and Matt Tolmach Productions.
