Elizabeth Banks to Produce and Direct Comedic Take on ‘The X-Files’ for ABC

After helming Pitch Perfect 2 as her directorial debut, Elizabeth Banks will go behind the camera once more, this time for the small screen.

Banks will executive produce and direct the ABC comedy The Greater Good from creator Caroline Williams (Miss Guided). For this former X-Files fan, the single-cam sitcom — described as a “comedic X-Files, a relationship/workplace comedy set in the world of conspiracy theories” — sounds amazingly promising.

Banks will next be seen in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay — Part 1, out in just four weeks on November 21.
