“The Office” actor turned filmmaker B.J. Novak has landed a series order at FX for an untitled half-hour anthology series which was first announced last year.
Described as character-driven stories about the world we live in today, two episodes have been shot with Novak writing and directing those as well as serving as executive producer.
Lucas Hedges, Kaitlyn Dever, O’Shea Jackson Jr., George Wallace and Ed Asner star in the first episode while Jon Bernthal, Boyd Holbrook, Amy Landecker and Beau Bridges lead the second.
The project is said to be a “creative twist on the anthology format” and after seeing Novak’s two episodes, the series order was greenlit.
