ABC has given a pilot order to The Trustee, a comedic one-hour from the Smurfs writers Jay Scherick and David Ronn. The project hails from Warner Bros. TV and Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman’s Brownstone Productions. Warner Bros. TV, where Brownstoen is under an overall deal, is the studio.
Written by Scherick and Ronn, The Trustee is described as a fun, female buddy cop comedy about a driven but stubborn detective who finds unlikely help from her precinct’s trustee, a larger than life ex-con finishing out her prison sentence doing menial tasks for the police department. Though these two have completely opposing views on crime and punishment, a highly entertaining and successful partnership is born.
