Fox is teaming with Vine star King Bach for a new comedy.
The network has handed out a script order (with penalty) for single-camera comedy B TEAM, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Set to star King Bach (aka Andrew Bachelor), the comedy centers on a former Navy SEAL struggling to adjust back to civilian life who forms a team of mercenaries with questionable skills (called the “Badass Taskforce of Elite Assault Mercenaries”). Unfortunately, they're not all elite and they’re only medium badass, but they’re going to fight for the little guy and protect the law — even if that means breaking it most of the time.
Danny Mackey (web series Aim High, Jackass of All Trades) will pen the script and executive produce the 20th Century Fox Television comedy. McG will exec produce via his Wonderland Sound and Vision banner. Adam Devine (Workaholics, Pitch Perfect, Modern Family) will exec produce alongside Mary Viola and King Bach. Chris Case is set to serve as showrunner should the comedy move to series.
