Following a highly competitive multiple-network bidding war among the broadcast networks, Fox has landed the hot comedy from the 30 Rock trio with a straight-to-series order, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The untitled multicamera comedy, which takes place at a women's college that has just opened its doors to men for the first time, had NBC, Fox and other networks interested in making the project their own.
Hubbard is set to pen the half-hour effort, with Fey, Carlock and 3 Arts' David Miner joining him as executive producers on the project from Universal Television, where Fey is under a four-year overall deal. Coming off of a lengthy run on 30 Rock, Fey has no plans to star.

I hope Tina will be recurring, she was GREAT as the teacher on Mean Girls.
ReplyDeleteI guess Fox were the ones who offered a straight to series deal hence why they got it. Gotta say, I can see it fitting with the FOX comedy brand quite nicely....
ReplyDeleteYep ! Totally agree with you.
ReplyDeleteI was very interested in the beginning, but once I read "Fey has no plans to star" my interest took a deep decrease.
