\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Seven Sisters<\/a>, the FX<\/a> drama pilot with a stacked cast led by Elizabeth Olsen<\/a>, Cristin Milioti and J. Smith-Cameron, has received a series order. The project, from writer Will Arbery, director Sean Durkin and producer Garrett Basch, also stars Odessa Young (Springsteen: Deliver Me from Nowhere), Succession\u2018s Zo\u00eb Winters, Meredith Hagner (Bad Monkey), New Amsterdam\u2018s Ryan Eggold, ER alum Anthony Edwards as well as Bridget Brown, Carolyn Kettig and Philip Ettinger.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeven Sisters, from FX Productions, follows a large, tight-knit family that begins to unravel when one sister, Adrienne (Olsen), starts communicating with a voice no one else can hear, forcing them to confront long-buried secrets.<\/p>\n

\n\tOlsen, newly minted Emmy winner Milioti, Hagner, Young, Winters, Brown and Kettig play the titular sisters; Ettinger plays their brother; Edwards and Smith-Cameron portray the octet\u2019s parents; Eggold plays Adrienne\u2019s husband.<\/p>\n

\n\tSeven Sisters is executive produced by Arbery, who wrote the pilot; Durkin, who directed it; and Garrett Basch. The pilot reunited Olsen and Durkin a decade and a half after the award-winning 2011 movie Martha Marcy May Marlene, written and directed by Durkin in his feature directorial debut, which starred Olsen in her feature debut.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis marks Basch\u2019s fifth series for FX, where his company Dive has a longstanding first-look deal, following Devs, Reservation Dogs, What We Do in the Shadows and The Lowdown. He also is executive producing FX\u2019s comedy pilot Very Young Frankenstein. <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cWe\u2019ve been on the lookout for a compelling family drama, and when Will Arbery and Garrett Basch brought us\u00a0Seven Sisters, we found one that felt uniquely FX,\u201d said Gina Balian, President, FX Entertainment. \u201cIt lives in the deep relatable dynamics of adult siblings and their parents but does so in a way that\u2019s bold and original with an unexpected twist. This group of incredibly gifted actors brings this family\u2019s secrets to life in a way that will draw audiences in and keep them guessing until the very end.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSeven Sisters was one of two drama pilots greenlighted by FX in March. The other, a Snowfall spinoff starring the original series\u2019 Gail Bean and Isaiah John, was picked up to series last month<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Seven Sisters, the FX drama pilot with a stacked cast led by Elizabeth Olsen, Cristin Milioti and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":350040,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[49,48,6633,75,2112,152169,348],"class_list":["post-350039","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-tv","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-elizabeth-olsen","tag-entertainment","tag-fx","tag-seven-sisters","tag-tv"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350039","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=350039"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/350039\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/350040"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=350039"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=350039"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=350039"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
