David Hornsy, Artemis Pebdani join 'Boldly Going Nowhere' pilot

The "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" boys have recruited a pair of familiar faces for their new FOX comedy "Boldly Going Nowhere."

According to The Hollywood Reporter, David Hornsby has signed on to co-star in "Boldly," while also serving as a writer on the single-camera comedy. In addition, Artemis Pebdani will appear in the pilot.

Hornsby will play Lt. Lance Grigsby, right-hand man to Ben Koldyke's Capt. Ron Teague, rogue captain on an intergalactic spaceship. Pebdani will play the ship's alien communications officer.

"Boldly Going Nowhere" was created by Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton.

Hornsby has served as supervising producer and writer on FX's "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia," though viewers would recognize him as Matthew "Rickety Cricket" Mara on the comedy.

Pebdani has also appeared on multiple episodes of "Philadelphia."
