Sorry for the delay, I have updated the gallery with high-resolution screencaps from the double-episode season premiere of The Moodys!
Fox has released an extended look at the new season of The Moodys during their TCA presser held yesterday. Also, check out two new promotional photos in our gallery!
It started off as a holiday event series, but Fox has picked up The Moodys for a second season! It will not be holiday-themed and might have a bigger episode order. Here’s the official press release:
FOX has renewed the critically acclaimed comedy series THE MOODYS for a second season, it was announced today by Michael Thorn, President, Entertainment, FOX Entertainment. Starring and executive-produced by Emmy Award and Golden Globe nominees Denis Leary (“Rescue Me”) and Elizabeth Perkins (“Sharp Objects”), THE MOODYS follows a tight-knit, but slightly dysfunctional, family through their misadventures.
“With THE MOODYS, we set out to brand the holidays in the only way FOX can – bold and unconventional. What we ended up with was a special show – and a family – everyone at the network fell in love with,” said Thorn. “Bob Fisher, Rob Greenberg and Tad Quill perfectly captured the hysterics of Christmas, with sharp banter and real moments of family togetherness brought to life by Denis Leary, Elizabeth Perkins and the rest of the incredible cast. Eric and Kim Tannenbaum and CBS Television Studios have been great partners on this series; and, simply put, we’re looking forward to The Moodys’ future adventures.”
THE MOODYS family includes SEAN SR. (Leary), his wife, ANN (Perkins), and their three grown children – DAN (Francois Arnaud, “Midnight, Texas”), the youngest of the siblings and the “creative one”; BRIDGET (Chelsea Frei, “Sideswiped”), the middle sister and the “overachiever”; and SEAN JR. (Jay Baruchel, “Man Seeking Woman,” the “How to Train Your Dragon” franchise), the oldest sibling and “screw-up,” still living at home with his parents. THE MOODYS also features María Gabriela de Faría (“Deadly Class”), Josh Segarra (“Orange Is the New Black”), Kevin Bigley (“Here and Now”) and Gerry Dee (“Mr. D.”).
To stream all episodes of THE MOODYS, visit FOX Now and Hulu.
From CBS Television Studios and FOX Entertainment, THE MOODYS is written and executive-produced by Bob Fisher, Rob Greenberg and Tad Quill. Eric Tannenbaum, Kim Tannenbaum, Trent O’Donnell, Phil Lloyd and Jason Burrows serve as executive producers. Denis Leary and Elizabeth Perkins also serve as executive producers. THE MOODYS is adapted from the Australian series “A Moody Christmas.” THE MOODYS is based on the Jungleboys Entertainment Pty Limited and Australian Broadcasting Corporation series.
Hope everybody’s staying safe! I have updated the gallery with stills and high-resolution screencaps from last year’s holiday event series, The Moodys.
New project! François is set to star in the indie thriller, The Winter House, alongside Lili Taylor.
DEADLINE – Lili Taylor, who recently was seen in the Sundance film The Evening Hour, and The Borgias actor Francois Arnaud have signed on to star in The Winter House, an indie romantic thriller from writer-director Keith Boynton (The Scottish Play, Seven Lovers).
Hunter Emery (Hightown, Succession), Beth Fowler (Orange Is The New Black, Elementary) and Stephen Bradbury (Law & Order, The Path) co-star in the film, which is being produced by Tony Glazer and Summer Crockett Moore under their Choice Films banner.
The film tells the story of a brilliant and successful novelist (Taylor) seeking solitude in a rental home on a remote corner of New England in the dead of winter who encounters a handsome, charismatic and troubled grifter (Arnaud) who claims he’s the son of the landlord. As winter wears on, two lost souls will offer each other salvation, both knowing full well that the opposite is far more likely.
Fox has announced that the holiday comedy event series, The Moodys, is premiering on December 4th! They also released a first-look image of the show, along with a set of character posters. Check them out in our gallery.
DEADLINE – Fox has set Wednesday, December 4 for the premiere of holiday comedy event series The Moodys. The adaptation of the Australian series, starring Denis Leary and Elizabeth Perkins, will air over three nights, with back-to-back episodes beginning Wednesday, December 4 at 9 and 9:30 PM on Fox. The series continues the following week with back-to-back episodes on Monday, December 9 and Tuesday, December 10, also at 9 and 9:30 PM.
Written by comedy veterans Bob Fisher, Rob Greenberg and Tad Quill, The Moodys follows a tight-knit, but slightly dysfunctional family of five, all of whom gather in their hometown of Chicago for the “perfect” holiday. From break-ups to arrests to sharing one bathroom, each family member is packing his/her own eccentricities and hiding secrets from the others.
The family includes Sean Sr. (Leary), his wife, Ann (Perkins), and their three grown children – Dan (Francois Arnaud), the youngest of the siblings and the “creative one”; Bridge (Chelsea Frei), the middle sister and the “overachiever”; and Sean Jr. (Jay Baruchel), the oldest sibling and “screw-up,” still living at home with his parents.
Cast also includes Maria Gabriela de Faria, Josh Segarra, Kevin Bigley, Gerry Dee, Ulka Simone Mohanty and Megan Park.
François is set as a series regular in Fox’s holiday event series, The Moodys, an adaptation of the Australian series, A Moody’s Christmas!
DEADLINE – Francois Arnaud is set as a series regular opposite Denis Leary and Elizabeth Perkins in The Moodys, Fox’s half-hour holiday event series adaptation of the Australian series. Slated to air in December, the single-camera comedy series hails from CBS TV Studios, which will co-produce with Fox Entertainment.
Written by Bob Fisher, Rob Greenberg and Tad Quill, the six-episode The Moodys revolves around the Moodys, including Sean Sr. (Leary), his wife Ann (Perkins), their three grown children and an assorted mix of extended family members who gather for the holidays, with each packing his/her own eccentricities and complications.
Arnaud will play Dan. He is the youngest Moody kid, the creative one, also a neurotic romantic. Brimming with potential and a graduate of Northwestern, Dan is a freelance photographer, currently working as an assistant on a catalog shoot. He might be charming and sweet but is not exactly setting the world on fire and seems incapable of committing to anything long-term.
