FX orders limited series Fleishman Is in Trouble based on Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s bestselling novel

Deadline

Brodesser-Akner will adapt her book as a nine-episode limited series about "recently separated forty-something Toby Fleishman, who dives into the brave new world of app-based dating with the kind of success he never had dating in his youth, before he got married at the tail-end of medical school," per Deadline. "But just at the start of his first summer of sexual freedom, his ex-wife, Rachel, disappears, leaving him with the kids and no hint of where she is or whether she plans to return."
