"Factory" has been in development for several months at Spike, which has picked it up to series with a six-episode order.

" 'Factory' is a unique improvised comedy that captures the everyday lives of four regular guys," said Bill McGoldrick, vp original programming at Spike. "The humor speaks directly to our viewers and Mitch's sensibility is a perfect match for our brand."
