The project will be produced by 20th Century Fox Television in early 2017.<\/p>\n<p>Meriwether, marking her first comedy development since<em> New Girl<\/em>, wrote the pilot script with Ed Macdonald and Mark Grimmer. Meriwether and Katherine Pope serve as executive producers, while Macdonald and Grimmer serve as co-executive producers.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;FOX has been and continues to be such a great home for me with<em> New Girl<\/em>,&#8221;\u00a0said Meriwether. &#8220;And now I&#8217;m looking forward to making a pilot about the sexiest place on earth: Antarctica. And, yes, we will be shooting on location, so I think we&#8217;re going to find a cast very soon.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Liz is a great friend of ours, and her take on the important genre of South Pole comedy is as brilliant, specific and hilarious as<em> New Girl<\/em>,&#8221; said David Madden, the president of entertainment at Fox Broadcasting Company. &#8220;<em>Thin Ice<\/em> takes place in a world that half-hour television has never touched, and does it with original characters, an inimitable voice and Liz-style surprising romance. It&#8217;s as fresh and distinctive as anything we&#8217;ve read this year, and we&#8217;re excited to move forward with Liz and her fantastic team of Ed, Mark and Katherine.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>LOS ANGELES: FOX has made a pilot production commitment to the single-camera comedy Thin Ice from Liz Meriwether, the creator of New Girl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":7513,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[186,1063,1064],"class_list":["post-7512","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-fox","tag-liz-meriwether","tag-thin-ice"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
