FX network orders
transgender drama

The transgender-themed drama 4 oz. is a new show slated for the fall on FX about a family man who decides to have a sex-change operation. The show, created by Brian Falchuk and Nip/Tuck creator Ryan Murphy, will be executive-produced by Brad Pitt, according to TheHollywood Reporter.

"The first season deals with the revelation of his secret. In the second season, he begins dressing like a woman," Murphy said in an interview with Variety in September 2006. The third covers the surgery and his inherent doubts about going through with it, and by the fourth season, he's living as a woman and attempting to find love."

Murphy said the title of the show refers to the average weight of the human penis. (The Advocate)
