FX's Untitled Gillian Robespierre, Elisabeth Holm & Jenny Slate Project.






FX's UNTITLED GILLIAN ROBESPIERRE, ELISABETH HOLM & JENNY SLATE PROJECT
  • FX has officially given a pilot order to an untitled comedy co-created by Gillian Robespierre and Elisabeth Holm and starring Jenny Slate and Ari Graynor. Robespierre and Holm penned the pilot script, with Robespierre set to direct. Executive producers are Robespierre, Holm, Slate, Ravi Nandan and John Hodges. FX Productions and A24 Films will project. The project is described as an honest comedy exploring the adult female friendship of two creative partners - Lou (Slate) and Viv (Graynor) - as they embark on a cross-country road trip. Gutsy born and raised New Yorkers, Lou and Viv discover each other in their 30s, make a movie together and jump into the great unknown of their next project. Lou and Viv find strength and vulnerability in each other, learning how to have a fight and somehow still get back in the car.
