America is to get its own version of hit BBC mockumentary This Country.

Fox has commissioned 14 episodes reports Deadline.

The project is a co-production between Lionsgate, BBC Studios’ L.A. production arm, Fox Entertainment and Feigco Entertainment. 

Production of the pilot, written by Sex and the City’s Jenny Bicks and directed by Bridesmaids’ Paul Feig, was stopped after one day due to COVID-19 back in March, but there was enough there, plus the strength of the scripts, for a series to be greenlit, says Deadline.

This version features cousins Kelly (Chelsea Holmes) and Shrub Mallet (Sam Straley) as they are followed by a documentary crew during their daily lives.

The half-hour series also stars Seann William Scott, Aya Cash, Taylor Ortega, Justin Linville and YouTuber Krystal Smith.
