Fox Orders 10 Episodes of New Comedy Series “Famous”

Tune into FOX on Sunday, June 12 at 9:00 – 9:30 pm ET/PT for the debut of FAMOUS, a new half-hour comedy from creators Ralph Farquhar (“Real Husbands of Hollywood,” “Moesha”) and Ty Hodges (“A Girl Like Grace”). 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.

Casting details are not available at this time but will be announced soon.

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. Filmed in mock-documentary style at a “couples” therapy session the series tries to answer the question… can this couple survive or will they discover that being famous and in love makes for a complicated threesome?

The series is produced by 20th Century Fox Television. Ralph Farquhar and Ty Hodges are co-creators and writers. Farquhar serves as executive producer and Hodges is a supervising producer.
