ABC is looking for an office comedy and is focused on “lighter and brighter” programming, given the heavy political divide away from TV screens.
Some early favorites that fall into the office comedy space are Zach Braff’s “Start-Up” and the City Mayor Project that hails from “Hamilton” star Daveed Diggs, which are both heating up. As for family sitcoms, “Raised By Wolves” certainly has a chance with the pedigree of Diablo Cody and Greg Berlanti, and the taping for Carol Burnett’s “Household Name” was “magical,” as described by one of our insiders. Kenya Barris’ political pundit laffer “Libby and Malcolm,” starring Felicity Huffman and Courtney B. Vance, which was the first pilot to be ordered across the broadcast networks, did not come in as well as the network would have liked, according to sources, especially with such high expectations, but the network is high on the caliber of stars attached. As for other comedies, “Charlie Foxtrot,” starring Jason Biggs, is also in the mix.
