A month after FX signed a three-year, $50-milion deal with RCG, the production company of It?s Always Sunny In Philadelphia masterminds Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton, the partnership has yielded the first series. FX has given a 13-episode order to Unsupervised (working title), a new animated comedy series from RCG that will premiere in January and be paired with Archer.

Unsupervised, created and executive produced by Sunny?s Rob Rosell, Scott Marder and David Hornsby, is a comedy about optimistic best friends Gary and Joel navigating the harsh landscape of teenage life and trying to do what?s right without any parental guidance whatsoever. Its voice cast includes Justin Long, Kristen Bell, Romany Malco, Fred Armisen, Kaitlin Olson and Alexa Vega, along with Rosell and Hornsby. ?Having worked with David, Rob and Scott for many years on Sunny, it gives us great pleasure to see them make their own stamp on FX,? said FX?s EVP Nick Grad. ?Unsupervised is a great addition to our comedy roster and, like all of our comedies, it?s smart and really funny.? Unsupervised is produced by FX Prods, in association with RCG Prods and Floyd County. The series will be animated by Archer executive producers Adam Reed and Matt Thompson.
