A new anthology series lands at FX.
The network has ordered an untitled series from The Office alum. The half-hour series will be written, directed and executive produced by B. J. Novak.
According to Deadline, the untitled series will use the “boldest issues of our times as a jumping-off point to tell singular, character-driven stories about the world we live in today.”
“Thrilled, excited, humbled — these are the words in every press release, and I can’t believe how much I actually mean them,” Novak said in a statement. “This is my dream show, and FX is the dream place to make it. When I brought it to FX, I wondered if it went too far, and they told me, you can go further. I can’t wait to get started.”
“We have been admirers of BJ Novak for a long time,” said Nick Grad, president of original programming at FX Entertainment. “We loved his creative twist on the anthology format, and he delivered on two phenomenal episodes. We are looking forward to going into production on the rest of the season and supporting BJ’s ambitious vision for this project.”
The series has already started filming with each episode featuring a completely different cast.
