LOS ANGELES — 'Deadpool' star Ryan Reynolds not only announced his new series, 'Bedtime Stories With Ryan' on Instagram, but he also subtly shouted out his fourth baby, who he says inspired the show.
[bsa_pro_ad_space id=1]The series' announcement included a quirky video of himself dressed in light brown and white chequered pyjamas, reports People magazine.
The video showed the actor, 46, preparing to read to a pair of animatronic sheep as he explained through a voiceover: "You know the best part about stories? You remember them. They stay with you. And I want to tell you a bedtime story."
As per People, with a promise for it to be a "restful show" from "an anxious mind," Reynolds added in the caption of the post that "the idea for a show made to help everyone fall asleep was born the same day as my fourth child."
"I can't wait for you to watch Bedtime Stories, premiering June 20th on @MaximumEffort Channel on @fubotv," he wrote in the caption.
While Reynolds and his wife, Blake Lively, never publicly announced the arrival of their little one, the 'Gossip Girl' star posted a picture of herself on Instagram sans baby bump on Super Bowl Sunday.
The series - inspired by the family's newest addition - will premiere on Tuesday on the Maximum Effort Channel, which comes as a collaboration between Fubo and Reynolds' production company, Maximum Effort.
Speaking about the collaboration in a statement to The Hollywood Reporter, the 'Free Guy' actor shared that the development of the show has been a longtime dream of his.
"We're so happy to create a programme with the express goal of putting people to sleep. This show has actually been a dream of mine for a while," he said. "Storytime is a nighttime staple in our home and is a daily reminder of the power of storytelling."
