Seann William Scott Headed Back to Fox to Star in Comedy Series THIS COUNTRY From Jenny Bicks and Paul Feig

Actor Seann William Scott (American Pie, Goon) is returning to Fox, where he starred in the Lethal Weapon series that is ending this week, with a new series called This Country. The comedy is a mockumentary from writer Jenny Bicks (Sex and the City, The Greatest Showman) and director Paul Feig (The Office, A Simple Favor) “based on the BAFTA-winning BBC series of the same name.”

THR provides the synopsis:

This Country centers on cousins Kelly and Shrub Mallet, who are followed by a documentary crew as they pursue their dreams, confront challenges and fight each other over frozen pizza in the fictional town of Flatch, Ohio. They don't have much, but they do have each other.

Scott will play Father Joe, a recent transplant from Minneapolis who is doing the best he can with what he's got. He's a community leader in Flatch and a father figure to Kelly and Shrub. Though they often test his patience, he's resolved to stay an optimist and a role model. (Paul Chahidi plays a similar character on the BBC show.)

This sounds like a great premise that has the potential to be a hilarious series! I’m excited to be able to check it out this fall on Fox. Does it sound like a series you’ll want to watch?
