FX Orders Snowflakes to Series; Futurama Brings Out the Guest Voice Stars

FX's Snowflakes has been picked up to series with the first season of the comedy set to premiere next year. The half-hour series is created by Ben Kronengold & Rebecca Shaw (The Tonight Show), who wrote the pilot and serve as executive producers with comedy veterans Nick Kroll (Big Mouth, FX's The League), Jonathan Krisel (Portlandia, FX's Baskets), who directed the pilot, and Stefani Robinson (FX's Atlanta, FX's What We Do in the Shadows). Snowflakes is a twenty-something ensemble comedy following a group of codependent housemates trying to be good people, despite being neither "good" nor "people" yet. Snowflakes stars Malik Elassal as "Samir," Lucy Freyer as "Billie," Jack Innanen as "Paul Baker," Amita Rao as "Issa" and Owen Thiele as "Anton."

Following Hulu's critically acclaimed 2023 revival of Futurama, the epic sci-fi series from Matt Groening and David X. Cohen returns in 2024 with ten all-new episodes. On this orbit around the sun, our occasionally heroic crew embarks on mind-bending adventures involving birthday party games to the death, the secrets of Bender's ancestral robot village, A.I. friends (and enemies), impossibly cute beanbags, and the true 5 million-year-old story behind the consciousness-altering substance known as coffee. And, of course, the next chapter in Fry and Leela's fateful, time-twisted romance.
