FX sets a return date for Louie, gives Pamela Adlon her own show
After apparently deciding that, no, American Horror Story wasn’t close enough, FX has ordered its first female-fronted comedy series from Louie writer/producer/co-star Pamela Adlon. Called Better Things, the plot of the show is similar to Louie, but from a woman’s point of view; Adlon, a working actress raising three daughters, stars as Sam, a working actress raising three daughters. The Hollywood Reporter says Sam is “trying to earn a living, navigate her three daughters’ lives, having fun with a friend or two, and also — just maybe — squeezing in some sex once in a while.”
