ABC orders pilot for Elizabeth Banks’ cop/criminal buddy comedy
ABC has ordered a pilot for a new cop dramedy from movie-star-turned-prolific-producer Elizabeth Banks. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the network has given the nod to an hour-long pilot for Banks’ new series The Trustee, about a detective who teams up with a “larger-than-life” convict serving out their sentence by doing menial jobs in the police station, in order to solve crimes and also probably learn some things about friendship and/or justice.
