Beck Bennett Lines Up Ski Resort Comedy at FX

Beck Bennett is set to star in a new half-hour comedy at FX about a disgraced Olympic skier who must save his family's failing ski resort in Aspen, Colorado. Deadline reported the project on 11 November 2026.

Bennett is developing the show with Anna Drezen and Paul Briganti. Development is the stage where a show is built on paper, with scripts and a plan, before a network decides whether to commit to making episodes. This project is still at that stage.

Drezen is expected to run the series as showrunner, the lead writer who oversees the show's stories and day-to-day production, if it goes ahead. Briganti is set to direct if the project moves forward. Both roles depend on the same condition, so nothing is locked in yet.

The comedy comes from Lionsgate and Point Grey. Lionsgate is a studio that makes and sells television and film. Point Grey is a production company that works with networks and studios on comedy and other projects.

FX is the cable and streaming network that would air the show if it is picked up. Many development projects never reach that point, and others take months or longer to move from a written idea to a commitment. For now, the story is about a premise, a cast and a creative team lined up around it.

For the people who would make it, a pickup means a writers' room, a crew and a shooting schedule. For viewers, it means a new comedy with a familiar lead and a small Colorado mountain town as its setting. Until a network confirms an order, the show remains an idea in development.
