David Cross partnered with Syd Butler at French Kiss Records and the Orchard Video Network to create FKR.TV, another online content network to feature original content, many of which will be in the form of a comedy web series.

“Law of the Land” is one of their first series that has a pretty great cast in Baron Vaughn, Brendon Small, Samm Levine, Chris Walsh, Ron Lynch, Matt Besser, James Urbaniak, Phil Lamarr, as well as the show’s writer Ali MacLean in a comedic take on Homeland.

We have yet to see a trailer or teaser before the premiere on Aug. 15th, but we definitely think you should keep an eye on this like we’ll be doing.
