FX Gives Pilot Order To Shawn Ryan’s Terriers

FX has given a green light to Terriers, an hourlong comedic private-eye show from The Shield creator Shawn Ryan and writer Ted Griffin. The project is described as a comedic take on the private eye world, revolving around an ex-cop turned detective who teams up with a young hot-shot. The idea came from Griffin, a Shield fan who penned an episode of the gritty FX cop drama. Griffin wrote Terriers and is executive producing the pilot with Ryan.

At FX, Terriers joins two other pilots in various stages of production: the untitled Elmore Leonard drama, starring Timothy Olyphant, and the Holt McCallany starrer Lights Out.
