Fox is to shoot a Us remake of BBC Three comedy Dead Boss.
The UK original starred Sharon Horgan and aired six episodes in June and July 2012.
Fox's version - which again follows a woman falsely convicted and imprisoned for killing her boss - will be written by Suburgatory's Patricia Breen, Deadline reports.
Horgan will executive produce the Us version alongside Aaron Kaplan of Kapital Entertainment.
Horgan and Kaplan previously developed a Us remake of the former's other BBC Three comedy Pulling and also worked on two original comedy projects - Bad Mom and Bad Management.
Fox has given Dead Boss a put-pilot commitment, meaning that the network will have to pay a fee if it does not air the episode - increasing the likelihood of a series pick-up.
