Metaphysical Comedy About a Group of Queer 20 Somethings Coming To FX
Share
FX is developing a sitcom around a group of queer 20 something’s.
The project is described as a “metaphysical comedy about a group of queer twenty-somethings forced by the most unlikely source to confront their generational anxieties and unpack their emotional baggage.”
The Disney-backed basic cable network has ordered a pilot for an untitled half-hour comedy from writer Lauren Ludwig (Cake, American Auto) and exec producers Chris and Paul Weitz.
Ludwig previously contributed to the cable network’s Cake and wrote and produced the queer action film Heart Shot for Netflix. Alongside her comedy group, Lost Moon Radio, she directed Passive Aggressive History as part of Rachel Dratch’s Late Night Snack for TruTV.
The Weitz brothers count the Oscar-nominated About a Boy and will produce via their Depth of Field banner. The company’s credits include Nick and Norah’s Infinite Playlist, A Single Man, A Better Life, Mozart in the Jungle and The Farewell. The production company next has Disney’s Pinocchio and Hulu’s queer romcom Crush, due April 29.
