According to The Hollywood Reporter, “The Answers” has received a pilot order for FX. This means that, if the network likes what it sees with the first episode and decides to give it the go-ahead as a full series, you’ll eventually be able to see it there.
THR notes that FX isn’t quite as trigger-happy with straight-to-series pickups as other cable networks, but “The Answers” has some other noteworthy talent behind it in addition to Aronofsky, and this would seem to make it primed for success. Since it’s in the very early stages of development, there’s no specific time table yet for the show’s potential release, but it’s being produced by 20th Century Television, which, like FX, is now owned by Disney. In the long term, given FX’s previous streaming arrangement with FX on Hulu, there’s a chance it could wind up streaming on Disney+ or Hulu (which Disney owns two-thirds of and is looking to buy out completely before 2024, per Indiewire).
