Famous - FOX Not Moving Forward with Couples Therapy Comedy for Summer *Updated*

Update: FOX is no longer proceeding with Famous and it has been moved back into development.

EXCLUSIVE: Fox will not be proceeding with its series plans for Famous, a half-hour comedy created by veteran comedy writer-producer Ralph Farquhar (Real Husbands Of Hollywood) and A Girl Like Grace co-writer/director/co-star Ty Hodges. The project was given a 10-episode straight-to-series order earlier this month. It was slated for June 12 premiere and a summer run in the Sunday 9-9:30 PM time slot. Famous is being taken off the schedule but will remain in development.

The decision comes as the series was casting. A writers room had been assembled to work on scripts but the show was yet to begin production. Famous was to be filmed in mock-documentary style at a couples therapy session, featuring dating high school teachers Fred and Geneva, both of whom secretly aspire to work in Hollywood.

FAMOUS, a new half-hour comedy from creators Ralph Farquhar (“Real Husbands of Hollywood,” “Moesha”) and Ty Hodges (“A Girl Like Grace”), will debut Sunday, June 12 (9:00-9:30 PM ET/PT) on FOX. The network has ordered 10 episodes of the series, which follows a young couple whose relationship is tested when one of them skyrockets to stardom virtually overnight.

Filmed in mock-documentary style at a “couples” therapy session, FAMOUS features dating high school teachers FRED and GENEVA, both of whom secretly aspire to work in Hollywood. He wants to be a screenwriter and she envisions stardom as a pop diva. One of those dreams miraculously comes true when Geneva lands a record deal after her first music video goes viral and logs millions of views. As she rises to stardom, he feels pushed to the sidelines. Can this couple survive or will they discover that being famous and in love makes for a complicated threesome?

Additional details, including casting, to be announced shortly.
