At the TCA (Television Critics Association) press tour today, FX president John Landgraf announced that the critically acclaimed Louie has been renewed for Season 4. This comes on the heels of Louie receiving multiple Emmy nominations, including Louie C.K.’s nominations for acting and writing (though Landgraf acknowledged their disappointment that it didn’t get a Outstanding Comedy nomination).
Not officially announced as renewed yet were Wilfred and Anger Management, but it sounds like both will almost certainly be back. Landgraf said he was “very optimistic” about Wilfred’s renewal, but noted there were “some deal issues to work out” first.
Anger Management meanwhile has an unusual (but not unique – the same deal was established for Tyler Perry’s TBS comedies) situation where if FX picks it up, it’s picking it up for an additional 90-episodes on top of the original 10, making it a 100-episode, syndication-ready package.
While Landgraf said they won’t make the final decision on that pickup until the first 10 complete their run, he did reveal Martin Sheen would be joining the cast as Charlie Sheen’s onscreen father, should it continue (Martin will guest star in Season 1). It’s hard to believe that the show would not be picked up, on the heels of a casting announcement like that.
Landgraf also revealed Brand X with Russell Brand will be back this fall for seven more episodes, after its six-episode summer run. The fall episodes will air alongside It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and The League. Landgraf said there will be changes to the format.
