CBS has made its first pilot orders this season, giving the green light to 9J, 9K, and 9L, a multi-camera family comedy from the husband-and-wife team of Dana Klein and Mark Feuerstein, toplined by the former Royal Pains star; and NASA-themed drama Mission Control, from The Martian author Andy Weir, which is executive produced by Simon Kinberg and veteran showrunner Charles Eglee. Both projects hail from CBS TV Studios.
9J, 9K, and 9L, produced by Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment, was written by Friends with Better Lives creator Klein and Feuerstein inspired by a time in Mark Feuerstein’s adult life when he lived in apartment 9K in the building he grew up in, sandwiched between his parents’ apartment, 9J, and his brother, sister-in-law and their baby’s apartment, 9L, and his attempts to set boundaries with his intrusive but well-meaning family. CBS landed the project in August a competitive situation with a major penalty.
Written by Weir, Mission Control revolves around the next generation of NASA astronauts and scientists who juggle both their personal and professional lives during a critical mission with no margin for error.
Weir executive produces with Courtney Conte & Quan Phung (Slingshot), Simon Kinberg & Aditya Sood, and Charles Eglee.
