FXX, the FX with the extra X, has given the go ahead to a new comedy series “Man Seeking Woman” starring Jay Baruchel (Undeclared, This Is The End).

The Hollywood Reporter describes the show as a sweet and absurd look at the life-and-death stakes of dating starring Baruchel as Josh Greenberg, a naive romantic on a desperate quest for love. The series is based on the book “The Last Girlfriend On Earth” by Simon Rich. “Man Seeking Woman” has a strong Saturday Night Live connection. Simon Rich will work as showrunner and executive producer. He was one of the youngest writers in SNL history and he brings Lorne Michaels with him as executive producer as well.

Eric Andre, Britt Lower and Maya Erskine co-star on the series. FXX has ordered 10 episodes for “Man Seeking Woman”‘s 2015 premiere.
