Fox remaking BBC mockumentary comedy This Country with Paul Feig and Jenny Bicks
-
The BBC3 comedy created by and starring siblings Daisy May Cooper and Charlie Cooper about young people living in a small English village, which premiered in February 2017, is getting Americanized. The Coopers will serve as executive producers on the Fox remake, which Sex and the City writer and Men in Trees creator Bicks is writing. Feig will serve as an executive producer. The Fox version will be centered on “the daily lives of cousins Kelly and Shrub Mallet and their idiosyncratic surroundings,” according to the official logline. The show will “follow the cousins as they pursue their dreams, confront challenges, and fight each other for frozen pizza.”
