`Brand X`, the comedian`s late night talk show on FX, will not be renewed for a third series although the actor will work on other projects for the channel, including a "scripted live-action comedy".
Joh Landgraf - who was promoted to CEO of FX Networks and FX Productions this week - said: "I don`t think we`re going to bring `Brand X` back.
"I think we`re going to do another show with Russell that`s going to be a scripted, live-action comedy. So the relationship is going to continue."
Russell`s new show for the channel is expected to be similar to `Curb Your Enthusiasm` and will be loosely based on his own life.
`Totally Biased With W. Kamau Bell` is set to fill the gap left by `Brand X` and according to Mr. Landgraf, host Kamau and executive producer Chris Rock were "ready to convert to a daily show" and "we saw more potential and more upside [in `Totally Biased`] in the audience reaction".
The CEO also admitted ratings for Charlie Sheen`s `Anger Management` "are less than we`d like them to be" but insisted airing the show on sister broadcast network Fox has given a boost to the series.
He said: "That was really good for the show, it had a really good performance we`re very hopeful that we will see some of those numbers migrate to the show [on FX]."
