Tracey Morgan’s upcoming comedy series for FXX “will be waiting for him” when he recovers from injuries sustained in a fatal auto accident in New Jersey last weekend, the network said Tuesday.
“The only thing we are concerned with is the health and recovery of Tracy Morgan and the victims of this tragic accident,” read the statement from FX Networks and FX Productions. “We will support Tracy and his family in every way possible throughout his recovery. At the point when Tracy has recovered and decides that he is ready to go back to work, his show will be waiting for him. Right now our thoughts and prayers remain with Tracy, the other victims of the accident, and their families.”
Last April, FXX ordered 10 episodes of a new comedy series starring the “30 Rock” alum and created by the trio behind “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” — Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton — and writer Luvh Rakhe.
Production on the untitled series was scheduled to begin in August, with the show premiering on FXX in January.
