The US network FX has ordered a new half-hour twenty-something ensemble comedy called ‘Snowflakes‘ from a duo of writers from ‘The Tonight Show’ it has been announced.
‘Snowflakes’ follows a group of codependent housemates trying to be good people… despite being neither “good” nor “people” yet. The series stars (L-R in the image from FX above) Lucy Freyer as “Billie,” Owen Thiele as “Anton,” Malik Elassal as “Samir,” Jack Innanen as “Paul Baker,” and Amita Rao as “Issa.”
The half-hour series was 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, The League), Jonathan Krisel (Portlandia, Baskets), who directed the pilot, and Stefani Robinson (Atlanta, What We Do in the Shadows).
“We are excited about the exceptional cast and powerhouse comedy team we’ve assembled for Snowflakes,” said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment. “Not only does it give us a chance to introduce our audience to Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw’s brilliant comedic voice, but we also get the opportunity to work again with Nick, Jonathan and Stefani, all incredibly talented veterans of signature FX comedies.”
Kronengold & Shaw have been a writing duo for a number of years, having first teamed up in college. They got a gig together working on ‘The Tonight Show’ in 2019, but this is their first scripted comedy.
“We’re so grateful to be telling this story about a group of friends navigating the hardest, horniest time of life together,” add Kronengold and Shaw. “FX comedies have defined our generation, and we can’t wait to show them the consequences.”
Created by Ben Kronengold & Rebecca Shaw, ‘Snowflakes’ is executive produced by Kronengold, Shaw, Nick Kroll and Alicia Van Couvering from Good at Business, Jonathan Krisel and Stefani Robinson. The series is produced by FX Productions.
‘Snowflakes‘ does not yet have a premiere date, but will air on FX in the USA. As it is produced by FX Productions, it should air on Disney+ in the UK, but that is not officially confirmed.
