Christopher Guest has been mostly inactive since 2006’s For Your Consideration but that is about to change. It’s being reported that Guest is working with Jim Piddock to create a television show. Television seems like a natural fit for the Guest and his ability to create completely lived-in worlds for his characters. The hope is to have it run commercial-free on a network like HBO or Showtime, or maybe even Netflix.  Entitled Family Tree, the show will be primarily improvised and will about a man, played by Chris O’Dowd, tracking down his real family. They are going to need do a lot of prosthetic eyebrow work on O’Dowd if they expect Eugene Levy to believably play his dad.
