IFC Battles Demons With “Stan Against Evil”

IFC has given straight-to-series orders to the comedy “Stan Against Evil,” from “The Simpsons” alum Dana Gould.

“ ‘Stan Against Evil’ revolves around a disgruntled sheriff of a New England town, built upon the site of a witch burning ground, who is forced to retire but winds up teaming with his female successor to fight off a plague of demons.”

Variety adds that Dana Gould is writing and exec producing with Tom Lassally for Radical Media. Frank Scherma and Justin Wilkes are also exec producing. The series, which is just starting the casting process, is targeted to debut late this year.

It was picked up for eight episodes.
