Owen Wilson is getting into the porno business...well, sort of.

The actor is teaming with Starz to develop a new drama series set in the world of 1980s pornography. Naturally, it's a premise that can only work on cable. Here's the official summary:

Here’s the logline: “Set in Ronald Reagan’s America and inspired by one of the biggest undercover operations in FBI history, WonderWorld follows two straight-arrow FBI agents as they infiltrate the violent Mob-controlled porn industry of the 1980s, with dire consequences for themselves and their families.”

Wilson, an Oscar-nominated screenwriter in his own right (for 2001's The Royal Tenenbaums), will executive produce the project along with Rene Balcer, Fred Berner, and Regina Lee. Balcer (Law & Order) will serve as the series showrunner.
