The Mindy Project creator, executive producer and star Mindy Kaling has teamed with the series’ executive producer Charlie Grandy for a single-camera sibling comedy, which has been snatched by NBC with a put pilot commitment.
Written by Kaling and Grandy, the untitled comedy centers on a charismatic gym owner with no ambition who lives with his younger brother, a gorgeous idiot. Their simple life of women and working out is put on hold when they have to take in the older brother’s son… whom they have never met.
The project stems from the big writing, producing and acting deal Kaling inked with Universal TV this past summer. Uni TV is producing the comedy with Kaling’s Kaling International banner and 3 Arts Entertainment. Kaling and Grandy executive produce alongside 3 Arts’ Howard Klein.
