ABC gives series order to new comedy from Alec Baldwin, Kenya Barris, and Julie Bean
According to Deadline, ABC has given a straight-to-series order to an untitled comedy project co-created by Alec Baldwin, Black-ish’s Kenya Barris, and Grown-ish’s Julie Bean. Billed as a “classic dysfunctional family comedy series,” the show is about a “stuck-in-his-ways, opinionated, fading TV star” who has to move in with his daughter, her girlfriend, and the child they’re raising. That clearly sounds like the perfect role for Alec Baldwin, and Deadline unsurprisingly notes that it is being developed as a “possible starring vehicle” for Baldwin. Bean and Barris, meanwhile, will write the show and serve as co-showrunners,
