NBC has given a script plus penalty commitment to a single-camera multiracial, multi-generational family comedy from writer Lon Zimmet (NBC’s Superstore), producer Wendi Trilling and Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment.
Loosely based on Zimmet’s brother-in-law and parents, the comedy chronicles what happens after a black law student’s fiancée accepts a temporary job transfer across the country and he has to survive living alone with his white, conservative future-in-laws.
Zimmet executive produces with Trilling, Dana Honor and Kaplan. Universal TV is the studio.
Zimmet’s series credits also include Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Happy Endings. He is repped by UTA and Rise Management.
This is one of several comedy sales for Kapital Entertainment this season, including Dan Kopelman’s single-camera comedy Me, Myself and I, which has a pilot production commitment at CBS, Dana Klein and Mark Feuerstein’s multi-camera 9J, 9K, AND 9L, also at CBS, and DJ Nash’s single-camera Losing it at ABC, both with penalty.
