FX Orders More of The League

LOS ANGELES: FX has renewed its comedy series The League for a fourth season, ordering 13 additional episodes.

The third season, which is currently airing, features an all-star lineup of guest stars, including Seth Rogen, Jeff Goldblum, Sarah Silverman, Ray Liotta, Will Forte and Eliza Dushku. The comedy follows a group of friends in a fantasy football league who will do anything to win. It was created by the husband-and-wife team of Jeff Schaffer (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Seinfeld) and Jackie Marcus Schaffer (Disturbia, EuroTrip) who serve as executive producers and directors. The cast features Mark Duplass, Stephen Rannazzisi, Nick Kroll, Paul Scheer, Katie Aselton and Jon Lajoie. It is produced by FX Productions.

"The League continues to be one of our most successful comedy series both creatively and from a ratings standpoint," said Nick Grad, the executive VP of original programming at FX Networks. "Jackie and Jeff Schaffer, along with our terrific cast, are doing wonderful work each week to make one of the funniest shows on television and we’re excited to order another season."

"We are thrilled to do more shows with a cast that makes us laugh hard everyday, on a network that actually lets us put those jokes on air," commented the Schaffers. "In the words of Taco: The League on FX on Thursday nights is a law, like water or dinosaurs."
