FX Orders New Comedy Series Based on Feature Film; Pop TV Gets Arranged with New Pilot
FX has ordered the first season of What We Do in the Shadows, a half-hour comedy series based on the feature film of the same name by co-creators Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi. The 10-episode first season will air on FX in the Spring of 2019. Set in New York City, What We Do in the Shadows follows three vampires who have been roommates for hundreds and hundreds of years. Jemaine Clement, Taika Waititi and Paul Simms are Executive Producers with Scott Rudin, Eli Bush, and Garrett Basch. What We Do in the Shadows stars Matt Berry, Kayvan Novak, Natasia Demetriou, and Harvey Guillen.
Kiran Deol (The Mindy Project, New Girl) and Moses Storm (Arrested Development, Conan) have been cast to star in Arranged, a half-hour comedy pilot ordered by Pop TV, which began shooting last week in Los Angeles. Deol will play Ash, a sardonic stand-up comedian whose challenging relationship with her overbearing mother forces her into an uncomfortable decision. Storm will play Alex, Ash's confident, offbeat, charming best friend and roommate. In addition to acting, both Deol and Storm have backgrounds as stand-up comedians and tour regularly.
From CBS Television Studios, Aline Brosh McKenna, the co-creator of the critically acclaimed comedy Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and series writer/producer Sono Patel, Arranged is a timely and diverse romantic comedy about two best friends who end up in a marriage of convenience. The pilot is co-created, produced, directed, assistant-directed and edited entirely by women.
