NBC is planning on launching new comedies The New Normal and Save Me in August after the Olympics along with Grimm season 2 and new Mathew Perry comedy Go On. While they haven't officially been ordered to series yet they have begun staffing and preparing for an August launch. Save Me, from writer John Scott Shepherd, Sony Pictures TV and Neal Moritz’s studio-based Original Films, centers on Beth Harper (Heche) who, after an accident, starts to believe she is channeling God. While the project has not received a series pickup yet, informal staffing efforts are underway so it could go into production early if needed. The 20th TV-produced New Normal, also not formally greenlighted yet, has been given permission to begin staffing. The New Normal, co-written by Murphy and Adler and directed by Murphy, is described as a heartwarming comedy about a blended family of a gay couple, Bryan (Andrew Rannells) and David (Justin Bartha), and a cash-strapped waitress and mother of one Goldie (Georgia King), who becomes a surrogate to help them have a child. Co-starring in the project is Ellen Barkin as Goldie’s glamorous/bigoted grandmother. Via Deadline
