COPS is Getting Adapted Into Edgy Buddy Comedy Directed by Zombieland’s Ruben Fleischer
It’s been over 7 years since Reno 911! did a masterful send up of the long running, real life, docu-series COPS.

Obvious Child’s Jenny Slate, director Gillian Robespierre, and writer Elisabeth Holm are reuniting once again.
Ari Graynor and Jenny Slate are set to co-star in FX’s newest comedy pilot, co-created by Robespierre and Holm, that follows them on a road trip across the country. If you’ve seen Obvious Child, you know that there’s probably way more bubbling under the surface than just that broad premise and we’re excited to potentially see what that is.
