Baskets (TV series)

Baskets is an American comedy-drama television series that premiered on January 21, 2016 on FX.[2] The series was co-created by Louis C.K., Zach Galifianakis and Jonathan Krisel; Krisel is also the showrunner and director. Galifianakis stars in the dual lead role as Chip Baskets, a failed professional clown in Paris, who instead becomes a local rodeo clown in Bakersfield, California, and his twin brother, Dale Baskets. Galifianakis, C.K., M. Blair Breard, Dave Becky, Marc Gurvitz and Andrea Pett-Joseph serve as executive producers, with FX Productions as the production company.[3] In 2017 C.K.'s production company Pig Newton had all ties to the show and FX cut after C.K. admitted to sexual misconduct with five women.[4] On May 24, 2018, FX renewed the show for a fourth and final season, which premiered on June 13, 2019.[5][6] The series ended on August 22, 2019.[7]

Premise

Chip Baskets aims to become a professional clown. After failing to get a degree at a prestigious clowning school in Paris, he is stuck with a job at a local rodeo in his hometown of Bakersfield, California.

Cast

Main cast

• Zach Galifianakis as twin brothers Chip Baskets and Dale Everett Baskets.
• Martha Kelly as Martha Brooks,[8] a low-key insurance agent who is Chip's only friend, tolerating his angry and rude treatment of her.
• Louie Anderson[8] as Christine Baskets, mother of Chip and Dale.

Recurring cast

• Garry and Jason Clemmons as Cody and Logan Baskets, Chip's brothers, who are twins.
• Sabina Sciubba as Penelope,[8] a wealthy young French woman, with a modicum of singing talent. She is married to Chip, but only married him to get a green card so that she could live in the United States.
• Ernest Adams[8] as Eddie, the owner and manager of the Buckaroo Rodeo, who hires Chip because he will give a job to anyone who actually wants to work there for low pay and at huge risk of injury.
• Ellen D. Williams as Nicole Baskets, Dale's wife.
• Malia Pyles as Sarah Baskets, Dale's elder daughter.
• Julia Rose Gruenberg as Crystal Baskets, Dale's younger daughter.
• Alex Morris as Ken, Christine's new boyfriend, who is a Denver-based carpet supply company owner.

Production

In December 2013, Louis C.K.'s production company, Pig Newton, signed a deal with FX for him to create new shows for their various networks. FX ordered a pilot episode for Baskets with C.K. and Galifianakis to co-write, and Galifianakis to star.[9] On August 27, 2014, FX picked up the show for a 10-episode first season with production to commence in 2015.[3]

In November 2017, after Louis C.K. confirmed the sexual misconduct allegations against him were true, FX canceled their overall deal with C.K. and his production company, Pig Newton. C.K. would have no involvement in future seasons of the series.[10]

Baskets incorporated several ideas Galifianakis originally came up with for Between Two Ferns: The Movie but were discarded early in the film's development.[11]
