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."
