Fox Orders Pilot For Antarctica Comedy From ‘New Girl’ Creator Liz Meriwether

Written by Meriwether, Ed Macdonald and Mark Grimmer, Thin Ice centers on a woman who reclaims her dreams when she finds herself at the end of the earth – in Antarctica – surrounded by a group of brilliant misfits.

“Fox has been and continues to be such a great home for me with New Girl,” Meriwether said. “And now I’m looking forward to making a pilot about the sexiest place on Earth: Antarctica. And, yes, we will be shooting on location, so I think we’re going to find a cast very soon,” she joked.

Lol, brilliantly economical idea for a sitcom. Every episode is a bottle episode pretty much.
