FX has ordered six episodes of "30 Days," a documentary-style, unscripted series from Sundance Film Festival sensation Morgan Spurlock and Ben Silverman's Reveille. The hourlong series, set to premiere in the summer, adapts for television the concept of Spurlock's critically acclaimed documentary "Super Size Me," which earned him the directing award in the documentary category at this year's Sundance. While "Super Size" centered on the effects of Spurlock eating every meal at McDonald's for a month, "30 Days" plants an individual into a lifestyle that is completely different from his or her upbringing, beliefs, religion or profession. For example, in the pilot a Christian insurance salesman from West Virginia lives with a Muslim family in Michigan.
