Fox Buys Bill Lawrence Father-Boy Comedy With Put Pilot Commitment

EXCLUSIVE: Bill Lawrence has offered another comedy project this season, landing another major commitment. I hear Fox has handed a put pilot persistence for an untitled single-camera comedy, which Lawrence will write, direct and executive produce. Inspired by Lawrence’s real-existence encounters, it focuses on a parent or gaurdian-boy relationship. This marks the initial pilot script Lawrence will write solo since Scrubs. On friday, he and Greg Malins got an plane pilot production commitment from CBS for just about any multi-camera workplace comedy they'll co-write together. Both projects hail from Warner Bros. TV where Lawrence is at wealthy, extended-term deal that started in June. The Fox deal reunites ICM-repped Lawrence while using network’s entertainment leader Kevin Reilly, who was simply inside the same position at NBC for a lot of of Scrubs‘ work on the network.
