Freeform has given a pilot green light to Brown Girls, a multi-camera comedy pilot from writer-producers Shilpi Roy (Hipstehood) and Nastaran Dibai (According to Jim, Malibu Country) and Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment.
Penned by Roy, Brown Girls centers on the relationship between Rimmi, an Indian-American aspiring beauty vlogger, and Devi, a young woman who has recently emigrated from India. Brought together by family, Rimmi and Devi instantly clash over their different views on modern life and love while slowly realizing they both have something to learn from one another.
Roy co-executive produces the pilot, which is executive produced by Dibai, Tracy Katsky, Aaron Kaplan, and Dana Honor. The Big Bang Theory‘s Mark Cendrowski is in negotiations to direct.
“We love this odd couple comedy not just because it is a sophisticated, funny show but we are thrilled to tell a story about part of the American experience that isn’t really on TV today,” said Freeform’s Karey Burke.
