The world of television comedy is about to get a little more intriguing. A new single-camera comedy series, crafted by the minds behind the hit show Brooklyn Nine-Nine, is set to make its mark on NBC. This untitled project, co-created by Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, promises to bring a fresh take on the private detective genre. But here's where it gets interesting: the show's setting is in the world of private detectives, continuing the proud tradition of Los Angeles private eyes that began with Philip Marlowe and will end with this show.
The project, which was bought by NBC last fall with a pilot production commitment, has already secured a significant tax break from the California Film Commission. This credit, amounting to $1.4 million, will enable the comedy to be filmed in Los Angeles, further solidifying its chances of success. The comedy's half-hour format is a workplace comedy, and it's already one of the strongest comedy pitches to hit the TV marketplace in a while.
This isn't the only exciting development for NBC this week. The network has also ordered pilots for three dramas, including a reboot of The Rockford Files, a new series called Protection, and an untitled project from Dean Georgaris and John Fox. NBC could potentially produce as many as four drama and four comedy pilots this season, all within the traditional pilot window. So, get ready for an exciting year ahead in television comedy and drama!
