America remakes Free Agents

Watch NBC preview clips

Channel 4 comedy Free Agents is to be remade for America, following a successful pilot for NBC.

The network has ordered a full series, unveiled today as part of its autumn line-up.

And it has released the first clips from the show:

Big Talk Productions, which made the Stephen Mangan and Sharon Horgan original, are co-producers on the new version.

The NBC remake stars Kathryn Hahn and Simpsons stalwart Hank Azaria and as two PR executives on the rebound. Hahn is no stranger to British remakes, having starred as Eddie in the ill-fated US version of Absolutely Fabulous two years ago.
