Louis CK releases surprise series, Horace and Pete

Louis CK may be taking a break from his award-winning series Louie, but that didn't stop him from launching a new web series over the weekend.

CK emailed his subscribers over the weekend about Horace and Pete, his new miniseries with Steve Buscemi. Much like Cheers or It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, the show follows a group of people at an Irish bar also called Horace and Pete.

The first episode is about 70-minutes long and also stars Alan Alda, Edie Falco, Jessica Lange and many other actors and comedians.

Horace and Pete's debut episode is available on his site now for $5.
