![]() ![]() The saying goes ‘the third time's a charm,’ but when it comes to Bob Odenkirk on AMC, the first and second times were about as charming, captivating, and viscerally entertaining as it gets. Though, as Dan McDermott, the president of entertainment and AMC Studios for AMC Networks, noted, they're quite happy with the work they've done with Odenkirk to date, and they want to keep a good thing going. When the project was announced earlier this month, it was apparent that AMC was keen on getting this show up and running with haste, and sure enough, this fast turnaround came about quite swiftly. Alongside Odenkirk, the writers will also produce the upcoming dramedy series with Peter Farrelly, who will direct the pilot, Mark Johnson, Marc Provissiero, Naomi Odenkirk, Bob's wife, and Russo. The former is the creator of ABC's short-lived Resurrection, while the latter is best known for his work on NBC's The Office, where he wrote, produced, and played the part of Toby Flenderson. As the press release notes, Straight Man is set to be adapted and show-run by Aaron Zelman and Paul Lieberstein. ![]()
