The news is all very preliminary, but John Landgraf, president of FX, has stated that he is set to be meeting over lunch with Joss Whedon in the upcoming weeks. Landgraf is a fan of Whedon’s work and while the purpose of the meeting has not been disclosed, on the heels of the Dollhouse project, it is certain that the discussion will center around what Joss is going to do next.

While Joss has primarily stuck with major networks for his project development, it could be that budget aside, the cable arena would be a better fit for Joss. With more control over content and philosophy behind his shows he may find that he could be good for cable and cable could be good for Joss.

We are a long ways away from finding out what Joss’ next project will be, and what home he will find next but meetings like this are a good sign. Rest assured that rumors will start flying about this meeting before the busboy has finished cleaning off the table.

For the rest of us, it is the painful waiting game to see what Joss will do next.
