Fox has given a put pilot commitment to Richard Lovely, a single-camera comedy from Grace and Frankie executive producer Billy Finnegan, director Kat Coiro (The Mick) and 20th Century Fox TV.
Written by Finnegan, the project, which has an About a Boy vibe to it, is about Richard Lovely, a best-selling children’s book author… who hates children. After a series of unfortunate public events — and a little advice from his fictional alter ego — he’s forced to foster a little boy named Georgie to save his career. But Georgie might end up saving his life.
Finnegan and Coiro executive produce.
As part of decreasing its dependance on current sister studio 20th Century Fox TV, which will soon become part of Disney, Fox aims at buying half of its scripted development for next season from 20th TV.
