Saint George is a U.S. sitcom developed by George Lopez, David McFadzean, and Matt Williams, which was broadcast on FX between March 6 and May 8, 2014. This series represented Lopez's first lead role in a scripted television show since his ABC program George Lopez.
The production companies behind the show include Wind Dancer Films, Travieso Productions, 3 Arts Entertainment, and Lionsgate Television. The series consisted of a single season comprising 10 episodes. It operated under a syndication framework managed by Debmar-Mercury and Lionsgate Television, where achieving certain viewership thresholds during its initial airing would have resulted in an extension to 90 episodes. The series failed to reach these benchmarks and was consequently canceled on June 25, 2014.
