Dating comedy 'Mating' will revolve around a different protagonist every season.
Jason Katims is ready to take on romance. The Friday Night Lights and Parenthood alum has scored a pilot order at Showtime for comedy anthology Mating, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Written and created by Stu Zicherman (The Americans, Lights Out, Six Degrees), Mating explores modern mating, with each season exploring a different protagonist's journey. The comedy will center on a recently divorced guy who tries to evolve and connect, one date at a time. A search is under way for the male lead for the year-long anthology, with the lead set for a one-year deal as season two would tell a different story.
Zicherman will pen the script and exec produce alongside Katims and his Universal Television-based True Jack Productions. Katims is on board to exec produce the comedy, which was first put in development in August 2014, alongside his True Jack topper Michelle Lee. With the pilot order, Showtime has boarded the comedy as a co-production with Universal Television.
