This was announced today by Jeff Ford, Director of Acquisitions, Channel 4 & Film4, and Steve Cornish, Senior Vice President and Managing Director, Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution.

Ford said: “We are thrilled to continue our commitment to the best of US comedy with the much sought after series Back to You.” Fox’s Steve Cornish stated, “We have high expectations for Back to You and we are very pleased to be working with Four to create a success story.” Read over the jump for a preview of the show… it actually looks pretty good!
