EXCLUSIVE: Lucy Freyer (Paint), Malik Elassal, Owen Thiele (Dollface), Amita Rao and Jack Innanen (The Dessert) have been cast as the leads of FX’s ensemble comedy pilot Snowflakes, written by former The Tonight Show scribes Ben Kronengold and Rebecca Shaw and to be directed by Jonathan Krisel (Baskets).

Snowflakes is a twenty-something ensemble comedy following a group of codependent housemates — Billie (Freyer), Samir (Elassal), Anton (Thiele), Issa (Rao) and Paul Baker (Innanen) — trying to be good people, despite being neither “good” nor “people” yet.

Nick Kroll and Alicia Van Couvering, who runs his Good at Business production banner, executive produce alongside Kronengold, Shaw, Krisel and Awkwafina Is Nora from Queens showrunner Karey Dornetto. FX Productions, where Good at Business is under a first-look deal, is the studio.

Freyer is repped by Gersh and MJ Management; Elassal by UTA and Strig Artist Management; Thiele by UTA, Entertainment 360 and Hansen Jacobson Teller; Rao by Grossman & Jack Talent and Authentic Talent & Literary Management; Innanen by UTA.
