Robert Ben Garant and Cathy Shim, known for their work on Reno 911!, are teaming up once again for a new comedy pilot titled “Movers
” on FX. This Disney-owned network has greenlit the project, which will explore the chaotic and interdependent lives of a group of movers through improvisation.
Described as an “
improvised show about the erratic and codependent lives of a crew of movers,” Movers will star Robert Ben Garant and Cathy Shim themselves, bringing their comedic talents to the forefront. Joining them in this ensemble cast are familiar faces including Rebecca Quin, better known as WWE superstar Becky Lynch, Maz Jobrani from Superior Donuts, Darius Homayoun from Tehran, Tanael Joachim, and Manny Montana from Ironheart and Good Girls.
In recent weeks, FX has been actively expanding its comedy slate with projects like Very Young Frankenstein inspired by Mel Brooks’ iconic film Young Frankenstein. This marks another step in FX’s commitment to delivering fresh and engaging content to its audience.
Robert Ben Garant is no stranger to creating successful comedy series; he co-created Reno 911! alongside Kerri Kenney and Thomas Lennon. His impressive resume also includes writing and producing credits on projects such as The State, Night at the Museum, and Bajillion Dollar Propertie$.
Cathy Shim brings her own unique flair to Movers; in addition to her recurring role on Reno 911!, she co-wrote (with Garant) and starred in a TruTV pilot called Seoul Hunters. Her acting credits span various genres from Anderson Paak’s film K-Pops! to The Sun Is Also a Star and The Watch.
