Michael Showalter is developing a sci-fi comedy for FX
According to Deadline, America’s sweetheart Michael Showalter is developing a sci-fi comedy for FX called Daedalus 6. He’s executive producing the project with Dan Hernandez and Benji Samit, both of whom worked with Showalter on ABC’s short-lived Rebel Wilson vehicle Super Fun Night. Beyond its producers, we don’t really know much about Daedalus 6, but those producers might give us an indication of how the project will turn out, at least. For example, Showalter co-wrote the cult-classic comedy Wet Hot American Summer, which is a good sign. However, Hernandez and Samit were writers for NBC’s presidential comedy 1600 Penn, which is less good.
