Pamela Adlon and Louie CK’s new show Better Things is set to premiere in India this Thursday and the actress, who has written, created and starred in the upcoming show, is more than merely excited. Adlon told The Daily Beast, “I’m so frickin’ excited for people to see it I’m shitting in my pants.”
 
Pamela who is extremely popular for her role in Californication and her voice for Recess’ famous tomboy character Spinelli also assisted Louis CK on HBO’s Lucky Louie and FX’s Louie where she served as writer, producer, and Emmy-nominated guest star.

Now, she spoke about helming her very own show that is set for its big premiere, “My show, every single aspect of it was important to me. I handpicked every single song, every single piece of clothing, every extra. I wrote out the title credits by hand.” At one point in the first episode, she is even reportedly wearing her father’s old sweater. In fact, most of her character’s wardrobe are Adlon’s own clothes too.

On Better Things, Adlon plays Sam Fox, the single mother of three daughters—teenager Max, eccentric middle child Frankie, and spicy youngest daughter Duke—modelled after her own reality-show-ready experience raising three girls in Los Angeles following a divorce. When asked about the much talked about hype— Is Better Things sort of like an autobiography?—she responded, “You know, it’s me. I’m a mom of three girls. I have an English mom who lives next door to me. That’s pretty much my life. I’m an actor. I’ve done dirty stuff on camera. I do kids’ stuff for animation. I’m just like a working guy, you know? But then the stories that I’m telling are things that are just everyday life things and things that people are going through.”

The posters of Better Things are plastered all over the internet where Adlon is laying face-down on a bed with black booty shorts and ankle boots. An embarrassed Adlon said, “That is my butt! It was FX’s marketing idea and I loved it immediately. I don’t think I can deal with my face being out everywhere in the world.”

Better Things premieres in India on Star World Premiere HD on September 15th at 10 pm.
