FX is developing a half-hour comedy series based on the 2021 This American Life segment “I Was a Teenage Smuggler.” The series will follow a group of Mexican teens who are enlisted by cartels to smuggle migrants across the border. The teens soon find themselves making unfathomable amounts of money and living the lives of their dreams but with an ever-ticking clock until they are legally considered adults. The show will be written by Joanna Calo, Carlos López Estrada, and Kevin Sieff, who will also executive produce alongside Ira Glass and Alissa Shipp of This American Life.
