FOX Cuts Episode Order for Us & Them, Orders More Dads Scripts

Deadline is reporting that FOX has cut the episode order for romantic comedy Us & Them, an American adaptation of British series Gavin & Stacey starring Jason Ritter and Alexis Bledel, from the originally planned 13 to the six already produced (plus the pilot). Citing concerns over the tone of the series, decidedly less edgy than fellow new comedies Dads and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, the network has officially wrapped production on Us & Them, which was in the middle of an early production hiatus. It s a similar fate that befell last season s The Goodwin Games, which ended up being burned off this past May, so the series has essentially been cancelled before airing an episode, the second FOX series to suffer that fate this week following Murder Police. Of course, FOX will likely air the entirety of Us & Them at a date, but the fact remains that they re now down two of the comedies that they ordered at upfronts. Helping matters is that they ve picked up midseason entry Mulaney for six episode
