NBC has given pilot orders to three single-camera comedies from big-name auspices that all had big commitments with major penalties attached.
The untitled Charlie Grandy and Mindy Kaling project, which had a put pilot commitment, comes from The Mindy Project creator, executive producer and star Kaling and the series’ executive producer Charlie Grandy, with Kaling also featured in a recurring role. The Sackett Sisters, which also had a put pilot commitment, is from the 30 Rock trio of creator/executive producer Fey, executive producer Robert Carlock and former writer Luke Del Tredici. Space travel comedy Spaced Out, which had a pilot production commitment, hails from the Undateable duo of creator/executive producer Adam Sztykiel and executive producer Bill Lawrence. Spaced Out is produced by Warner Bros. TV, the Grandy/Kaling project and The Sackett Sisters are from Univeral TV.
Written by Sztykiel, Spaced Out, from WBTV and Lawrence's studio-based Doozer, is a workplace comedy that centers on a working class genius and his struggles to fit in with an established team all made more difficult when their job is building a rocket to Mars. Sztykiel executive produces with Doozer’s Lawrence and Jeff Ingold.
Written by Kaling and Grandy, the untitled Grandy/Kaling comedy centers on Vince, a charismatic gym owner with no ambition who lives with his younger brother Michael, a gorgeous idiot. Their simple life of women and working out is put on hold when the teenage son of Vince is dropped off on their doorstep by Priya (Kaling), one of his old high school flings.
Penned by Brooklyn Nine-Nine executive producer Del Tredici, The Sackett Sisters is about two estranged sisters who perform a Sully Sullenberger-esque act of public heroism, then are forced to navigate their new found notoriety together.
