Creator Kenya Barris has cemented himself as one of the most prominent voices in TV. But his two pilots in contention at ABC — Felicity Huffman and Courtney Vance beltway comedy Libby & Malcolm and drama Unit Zero, with Toni Collette — have both been passed over. The studio is said to be shopping them elsewhere. And speaking of producers, original co-showrunner Jonathan Groff is leaving the series to focus on development. In his stead, Stacy Traub is joining the comedy as executive producer. She recently re-upped her overall deal with ABC Studios for another two years.
Thanks to TVBuff65 for the heads up and Matt C for the video.
During tonights season finale of Black-ish, ABC's narrator announced it'd be back with new episodes, a similar thing was said during HTGAWM's season finale. Expect a proper renewal by tomorrow.
