A&R - Music Industry Comedy from Simon Cowell in Development at NBC
Simon Cowell is executive producing music-industry scripted comedy “A&R” for NBC, Variety has learned.
The network purchased a script for the Universal Television-produced project, which tells the story of a young, hip music label, along with its young, hip boss, is thrown into disarray when the owner brings back a hard-partying, middle-aged “mastodon” from the industry’s past to help guide them into the future.
“A&R” is the first scripted sale of the season for Cowell’s production company Syco. The show is being written by Josh Lieb, who is exec producing alongside Cowell with Scott Bernstein and Peter Samson.
