Horace and Pete
Louis C.K. announced in August that he was
taking an "extended hiatus" from his acclaimed FX series
Louie in order to work on other projects. Saturday brought the surprise-release of one of those extracurricular activities as the comedian sent out a simple email to fans announcing the arrival of his dramatic, darkly humorous new series
Horace and Pete, starring C.K. and Steve Buscemi in the title roles. The show's first episode is available to purchase now for $5 at
C.K.'s official site.
