FXX Speeds Up Expansion Plans With Help From Shows New and Old

'You're the Worst' crosses over from FX

Stephen Falk wasn't sure how to react when he got the news that his critically acclaimed but low-rated FX sitcom, You're the Worst, would move to FXX for Season 2. "When I first heard, I was a little like, is this being demoted to triple-A ball?" recalled Falk, the show's creator and executive producer.

After all, FX's younger-skewing sibling—which launched two years ago from the former Fox Soccer network—went through its share of growing pains before it began airing Simpsons repeats last August (starting with the "Every Simpsons Ever" mega-marathon), after landing exclusive cable, VOD and non-linear rights to the show.
