A New Zealand television production team is celebrating after being asked to develop a show for American cable network FX.
The Downlow Concept, the Auckland trio of Ryan Hutchings, Jarrod Holt and Nigel McCulloch, have signed a script development deal for a comedy to screen in America.
The collective are the brains behind shows like 7 Days and Hounds, as well as upcoming movie Gary of the Pacific, starring local comedian Josh Thomson.
