Alex Barnow and Marc Firek, writer-producers on " 'Til Death," have inked a new two-year overall deal with series producer Sony Pictures TV.

After three seasons on "Death" -- most recently as supervising producers -- the pair is leaving the comedy series, which recently was picked up by Fox for a fourth season. They are expected to join another Sony series under their new seven-figure pact.

Barnow and Firek also have received a blind script commitment for a new series project. They are expected to begin working on the script immediately, while the extension to their overall deal starts in June, when their previous two-year pact expires.

The duo's series credits include Fox's "Family Guy," NBC's "In-Laws" and CBS' "Out of Practice."

They are repped by WMA and attorney Ken Richman.

I've never seen a tv show that only aired 3 times in a fall tv season and get put on hiatus because of dreadful ratings and then get renewed for the following year. These guys are geniuses. :lol:

Even the creators think the show's crap - why else would they leave?

I'm still amazed as well - extremely low ratings all 3 seasons, and still renewed. FOX never fails to amaze me.

All this talk about the future of the show puts me in the mood to watch a new episode. I hope it comes back on soon.

And with Don Reo taking over the show in it's fourth season, who needs Alex Barnow and Marc Firek?
