Fincher Almost Directed Cult Hit 'Terriers' Pilot
2 Mar
Summary
- David Fincher was considered to direct the pilot of FX's 'Terriers'.
- The crime comedy-drama aired for only one season in 2010.
- Despite low ratings, 'Terriers' gained a dedicated cult following.

Acclaimed director David Fincher was once in discussions to helm the pilot episode for the FX comedy-drama "Terriers." This series, which focused on Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James as an ex-cop and his friend starting a private investigation business, aired for just one season. The show ran from September to December 2010, concluding after being declared FX's lowest-rated first-year drama at that time.
Despite its initial cancellation, "Terriers" received positive reviews from critics and cultivated a small but passionate following. Showrunner Shawn Ryan reflected that the show felt ahead of its time and, while heartbreaking to lose, has gradually found its audience over the years, with more fans emerging than detractors.
