Originally slated for April, FX is pushing back the premiere of comic Louis C.K.’s new series Louie, to June.
The cable station announced it was holding off the premiere until June so it could use Dennis Leary’s popular drama Rescue Me as its lead-in. No specific date in June for the premieres of Rescue Me and Louie were announced, but TV pundits expect that it will be mid-month.
FX had ordered 13 episodes of Louie, which is shot on location in New York City. The show is a natural fit with the network’s male-centric schedule including It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, which saw its ratings hit a peak last season. FX recently premiered the animated comedy Archer to positive reviews and respectable ratings (1.82 million total viewers). But since its premiere in January, the show has suffered a ratings decline.
