FX has ordered a pilot for the new anthology series Platform, which will be written, directed and executive produced by B.J. Novak (The Office).
He also authored two books, One More Thing: Stories and Other Stories, which was a NYT bestseller, and the kids’ book, The Book with No Pictures.
Novak starred as temp-turned-executive-turned-temp Ryan Howard on the first eight seasons of The Office, as well as serving as a writer, director and producer on the show.
It’s being reported that every episode will have a drastically different tone, much like a true anthology.
