Rob Lowe to star in Fox’s The Grinder, as a lawyer who grinds
Rob Lowe has found his next TV project, after finding several other next TV projects before that: According to The Hollywood Reporter, he’s signed on to star in Fox’s single-camera comedy The Grinder, which was previously reported as in development from the co-creators of the animated Allen Gregory, Andrew Mogul and Jarrad Paul. The Grinder—which now also has The Muppets’ Nicholas Stoller as an executive producer and Bad Teacher’s Jake Kasdan attached to direct the pilot—stars Lowe as a “beloved TV lawyer” known as “The Grinder,” who returns to his hometown after his show is canceled and tries to take over his family’s real-life law practice with his TV lawyering skills.
