NBCU Launching FCU: Fact Checker’s Unit Web Series

NBC Universal on Aug. 17 will launch FCU: Fact Checker’s Unit, a branded entertainment Web series based on a short film of the same name.

The eight-episode short form series, something of a spoof of procedural dramas like Law & Order, depicts a pair of magazine fact checkers who go above and beyond to confirm obscure celebrity facts. In the 2008 short film, the duo looks to prove that Bill Murray’s loves drinking milk.

The new Web version of the show will feature similar scenarios, along with celebrity cameos.
