FX unveils new comedy series ‘Snowflakes’ for 2025
A fresh take on twenty-something life
FX has officially given the green light to a new comedy series titled Snowflakes, set to premiere in 2025. Initially picked up as a pilot earlier this year, the show promises to deliver a unique and humorous perspective on the lives of a group of codependent housemates. According to the official logline, Snowflakes is a ”twenty-something ensemble comedy following a group of codependent housemates trying to be good people, despite being neither ‘good’ nor ‘people’ yet.”
The creative minds behind ‘Snowflakes’
The series is penned by former Tonight Show writers Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw, who also serve as executive producers. Their comedic prowess is well-documented, having been the youngest writers in the history of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. They also authored the book Naked in the Rideshare: Stories of Gross Miscalculations, a collection of comedy short stories published in November 2023.
Nick Kroll and Alicia Van Couvering are also on board as executive producers through their company, Good at Business. Jonathan Krisel and Stefani Robinson, both veterans of signature FX comedies, join the team as executive producers, with Krisel also directing the pilot.
A powerhouse cast
The cast of Snowflakes features a talented ensemble, including Malik Elassal as Samir, Lucy Freyer as Billie, Jack Innanen as Paul Baker, Amita Rao as Issa, and Owen Thiele as Anton. This diverse group of actors is set to bring the quirky and relatable characters to life, navigating the complexities of young adulthood.
Insights from the creators
