Variety

Adlon will develop scripted and unscripted programming exclusively for FX and potentially Walt Disney Television as part of her new overall deal. The news comes shortly after Better Things was nominated for two TCA Awards for Season 4: Outstanding Achievement in Comedy and Individual Achievement in Comedy for Adlon. Season 5 is expected to air in 2021. “We are truly honored to work with Pamela,” said Eric Schrier, president of FX Productions. “She is one of the most talented artists in the business, which is exemplified through her work as a producer/showrunner, actor, writer and director. The most recent season of Better Things was its best yet and we’re excited about what’s to come in season five, as well as all of the future projects we are working on together.”
