Elijah Wood heading to the small screen for FX Sitcom

Elijah Wood is heading to the small screen. The Lord of the Rings star is set to appear in upcoming FX sitcom Wilfred.

The show, a remake of the hit Australian comedy, will reportedly see Wood portray a man who discovers that his new girlfriend’s dog Wilfred can appear to him in human form.

Elijah will be starring alongside by Jason Gann as Wilfred. Gann played the same part in the Australian version and also co-created the original series.

The show — which will mark Wood’s first major television role — is being adapted for US television by Family Guy producer David Zuckerman. Production on the pilot is expected to begin later this year, according to Entertainment Weekly magazine.
