Doctor Who's David Tennant is teaming up with Lena Dunham for her remake of Camping

Doctor Who's David Tennant will collaborate with Lena Dunham for his next major TV series.

Tennant has been cast in a leading role in Dunham and Girls collaborator Jenni Konner's remake of the British comedy series Camping, according to TheWrap.

Jennifer Garner previously signed on to star in Camping as housewife Kathryn Siddell-Bauers, who organises a weekend excursion into nature to celebrate her husband Walt's (Tennant) 45th birthday.

However, the trip goes south when Kathryn's sister and judgy best friend bring along a free-spirited wild child. Before the weekend is over, a crime will have taken place and a marriage will have been tested.

This is the latest of a few US roles for Tennant, who most recently made a brief re-appearance as the mind-controlling super-villain Kilgrave in the second season of Netflix's Jessica Jones.

Tennant also currently voices Scrooge McDuck in Disney's animated reboot of the DuckTales series, and is set for a co-starring role with Michael Sheen and Jon Hamm in Amazon Prime and BBC Two's adaptation of Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's beloved novel Good Omens.

Camping will be Lena Dunham and writing partner Jenni Konner's comeback to US premium channel HBO, after wrapping their influential dramedy Girls last year.

The original Camping, which was written by and starred Julia Davis, aired on Sky Atlantic in the UK in the spring of 2016. Its US adaptation will comprise eight episodes.

An HBO air date for Camping in the US hasn't been announced yet. No UK broadcast is attached at this stage either.
