Production Will Begin In the Summer and Season Three Will Premiere in the Fall

LOS ANGELES, February 7, 2011 – FX has picked up a third season of its comedy series The League, ordering 13 episodes, announced Nick Grad, Executive Vice President of Original Programming, FX Networks.

On a first-run basis, season two of The League averaged 1.4 million total viewers and 1.1 million Adults 18-49, up +4% and +5% vs. season one, respectively. On a multi-run total basis, season two delivered 2.5 million total viewers and 2.0 million adults 18-49.

Set against the backdrop of a fantasy football league, The League is about friendship, marriage, parenting, and growing up…or refusing to grow up.

The ensemble cast features Mark Duplass, Stephen Rannazzisi, Nick Kroll, Paul Scheer, Katie Aselton and Jon Lajoie. The series is produced by FX Productions.

“We’re thrilled to be doing a third season of The League with our amazing cast and the most audacious network around,” the Schaffers. “FX is truly like the parents we wish we had growing up – every time we say something naughty they reward us.”

I know they’ve been in Nova Scotia a few times over the last number of years but I always managed to miss when and where they were playing. Well… I know they play next Friday and Saturday night at the New Rodeo Lounge in Dartmouth and I’ve already picked up my tickets. The last time I saw them in concert was on my 19th birthday in Truro which in fact was almost 19 years ago. Unreal how time flies but nevertheless I cannot wait to see them.

One of my favorite bi-weekly titles is out today… Brightest Day!! I have to say that having Brightest Day and Generation Lost coming out every other week has been great. Both series will be soon be coming to an end but looking at all the upcoming Flashpoint releases I should be grateful. One limited series at long last finishes today, Time Masters: Vanishing Point. This series should have finished alongside of the Return of Bruce Wayne but both ran late. Speaking of late… Batman Odyssey is never on time.
