FX Orders 20-Something Ensemble Comedy Series ‘Snowflakes’

deadline.com:

FX has picked up half-hour comedy pilot Snowflakes to series for a 2025 premiere. The project was created by The Tonight Show writers Ben Kronengold & Rebecca Shaw, and the order puts the 20-somethings among the youngest series creators, having both graduated from college in 2018.

Snowflakes is a twenty-something ensemble comedy following a group of codependent housemates — — Billie (Lucy Freyer), Samir (Malik Elassal), Anton (Owen Thiele), Issa (Amita Rao) and Paul Baker (Jack Innanen) — trying to be good people, despite being neither “good” nor “people” yet.

On the series, Kronengold and Shaw, who wrote the pilot and serve as executive producers, are partnered with comedy veterans Nick Kroll (Big Mouth, FX’s The League), Jonathan Krisel (Portlandia, FX’s Baskets), who directed the pilot, and Stefani Robinson (FX’s Atlanta, FX’s What We Do in the Shadows). “We are excited about the exceptional cast and powerhouse comedy team we’ve assembled for Snowflakes,” said Nick Grad, President, FX Entertainment.. “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.” Kronengold and Shaw, who have been writing partners since college, have worked as writers on NBC’s The Tonight Show since 2019. “We’re so grateful to be telling this story about a group of friends navigating the hardest, horniest time of life together,” they said. “FX comedies have defined our generation, and we can’t wait to show them the consequences.” Created by Kronengold & Shaw, Snowflakes is executive produced by Kronengold, Shaw, Kroll and Alicia Van
