FX has a new comedy pilot in the works. According to Variety, the network has ordered a half-hour comedy created by and starring Milioti and Pedrad (sister of SNL alum Nasim Pedrad) centered on an “entitled actress-turned-process server” named Maxine (Milioti) “who takes lemons and makes a fire out of lemons, burning herself and others. Her dysfunctional, tight-knit clan serves as her surrogate family.” Pedrad will play Maxine’s best friend Natalie, who is described as “sharp-witted and scientifically inclined” and “wants to be the Sheryl Sandberg of weed.” Pedrad and Milioti will serve as co-executive producers on the project alongside It’s Always Sunny’s Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, and Glenn Howerton.
