Louie is an American comedy television series on the FX network that began airing in 2010. It is written, directed, edited and produced by the show's creator, stand-up comedian Louis C.K., who stars as a fictionalized version of himself, a comedian and newly divorced father raising his two daughters in New York City. The show has a loose format atypical for television comedy series, consisting of largely unconnected storylines and segments that revolve around Louie's life, punctuated by live stand-up performances. The first season of Louie was broadcast in 2010, and the second season in... 2011. The show has met with critical acclaim and was included in various 2010 top-ten lists. C.K. was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series as well as Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series for the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards. C.K. announced on August 6th, 2011, via his Twitter account that the series had been picked up for a third season. FX has scheduled the premiere of the third season of Louie for June 28, 2012. The series is loosely based on Louis C.K.
