According to the news release, “Better Things” follows Adlon, portraying a single working actor with three daughters, as she navigates personal and professional situations, the report said.
Adlon said the show will be based on her experience as a single mother raising three daughters, the Daily News said.
Meanwhile, “Louie” itself will return to FX for a fifth season, with an eight-episode run starting April 9, the News said.
Adlon will continue to appear on the next season of Louie, and it’s possible that she and Louis CK will pursue both projects at the same time, the Times said.
