FX orders scripted comedy 'The League'--The Live Feed | THR
FX is joining "The League," ordering a semiscripted comedy pilot from "Curb Your Enthusiasm" executive producer/director Jeff Schaffer.
The project, which Schaffer co-created with his wife, Jackie Marcus Schaffer, centers on a fantasy football league and tackles issues of marriage, friendship, parenting and love in suburbia.
In the words of lead character Pete (Mark Duplass): "God bless fantasy football. There are many things a man can do with his time; this is better than those things."
Not sure how much fantasy football will actually take center stage, but the people producing it have a pretty good track record. Should be funny. I think it starts Oct. 29th.
