A year after originally developing a comedy pilot starring The Office alum Craig Robinson, NBC has picked up a new version of the show. The Peacock Network has given a six-episode order to Mr. Robinson, starring the comedian as a musician who winds up taking a job as a middle school music teacher.
As part of the pickup, Robinson's former The Office boss, executive producer Greg Daniels, is no longer involved with Mr. Robinson. Instead, Mark Cullen and Robb Cullen, who most recently executive produced ABC's Back In the Game (which was not picked up for a full season), are now showrunners and executive producing, along with Howard Klein and Mark Schulman.
Also no longer involved is Owen Ellickson, who wrote the original pilot and was to executive produce with Daniels, Tracy Katsky, Gabe Miller and Jonathan Green.
