FX network to launch a younger-skewing channel, FXX, in September
NEW YORK, N.Y. – FX says it’s spinning off a new cable network aimed at young adult viewers.
Launching Sept. 2, FXX will join big brother FX along with the movie-oriented FXM as the brand’s trio of channels.
The company says Thursday that the lineup for FXX will consist of original series, movies and acquired series targeting adults 18 to 34, a slightly younger audience than FX attracts. The new channel will be anchored by the comedies “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” and “The League,” two veteran series that until now have been telecast on FX.
Coming to FX this July is a new drama series titled “The Bridge.” Starring Demian Bichir and Diane Kruger, it centres on two detectives hunting down a killer operating on both sides of the U.S.-Mexican border.
