Nick Grad, president of FX Entertainment, has announced that Snowflakes has been picked up as a series. The first season will premiere next year.
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).
Snowflakes is a twenty-something ensemble comedy about a group of codependent housemates who try to be good people despite being neither “good” nor “people” yet. The series stars Malik Elassal as Samir, Lucy Freyer as Billie, Jack Innanen as Paul Baker, Amita Rao as Issa, and Owen Thiele as Anton.
“We are excited about the exceptional cast and powerhouse comedy team we’ve assembled for Snowflakes,” said Grad. “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.”
“We’re so grateful to be telling this story about a group of friends navigating the hardest, horniest time of life together,” said Kronengold and Shaw. “FX comedies have defined our generation, and we can’t wait to show them the consequences.”
“Ben and Rebecca are massively gifted writers, our cast is beyond talented, and the team we have assembled around them is the best,” said Nick Kroll. “I cannot wait to help make this show and give many more quotes for press releases.”
Created by Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw, Snowflakes is executive produced by Kronengold, Shaw, Nick Kroll, and Alicia Van Couvering from Good at Business, Jonathan Krisel, and Stefani Robinson. FX Productions produce the series.
