We’ll get to see a lot more of funny lady Amy Sedaris on this new series
Amy Sedaris is soon to barge back into our living rooms, and WE CANNOT WAIT.
Cable network truTV has placed a 10-episode order for a scripted comedy series starring the Strangers with Candy comedian. The project, which is currently untitled, sounds like it’s going to be a variety show-meets-home-economics-meets-SNL mashup. Man, we hope they include blooper reels.
Much like Strangers with Candy, it sounds like in the new project, Sedaris will play multiple characters, taking us through a variety of sure-to-be hilarious scenarios.
During the networks upfronts, Deadline reported that the series will showcase Amy’s multitude of skills:
"Through her imaginative characters and unique point of view, the series will showcase Sedaris’ diverse but necessary homemaking skills, from Frenching beans, to gutting a trout, to crocheting miniature sweaters, to entertaining business-men.
The episodes will each have a distinct theme. In fact, Deadline also reported that two will be “Fish!” And “Grieving!”
Apparently, Sedaris has been developing this show for quite some time.
“I’ve been doing this show in my head for years. It will be terrific to get it on TV so I can free up some wiggle room in my skull.
So when will we get the honor of watching this show? We don’t know. Likely not until 2018, given that the show concept was only just greenlit. So, okay. We’ll be patient. Or, we’ll try, anyway.
