Better Things
FX

Air Date: September 8

Like a female-version of comedy series Louie.

Pamela Adlon is best known for her voice work, winning an Emmy for her performance as Bobby on King of the Hill, but she's going to be the live-action star of FX's latest comedy series, which she's also created alongside Louis C.K.

Like Louie it'll be somewhat autobiographical, with Aldon playing a single mother with three children, and works as an actress who does voiceover animation work. It'll be a half-hour comedy-drama that refuses to stick to conventions, and is likely going to be hilarious and depressingly realistic at the same time.
