Upfronts 2024: Pilot Buzz & Other Development Updates In Another Atypical Broadcast Cycle


In a pilot season largely without pilots, Nellie Andreeva provides some insight into the networks' development plans in an atypical broadcast cyle.

In addition to Going Dutch, other comedy projects that have been heating up include 10% Happier, based on Dan Harris’ book and podcast, headlined by one of Fox’s top stars on the unscripted side, The Masked Singer and I Can See Your Voice ‘s Ken Jeong, and Buffalo Tens, f rom Another Period creators Riki Lindhome and Natasha Leggero. With NBC focusing largely on procedurals and multi-camera comedies, observers see Happy’s Place as a viable option, potentially paired with another multi-cam sitcom like Night Court, whose renewal is still pending as the network and producing studio Warner Bros. TV are haggling over episode count. ABC, the last of the Big 4 to unveil its fall plans May 14, has two new series on deck for next season, Drew Goddard’s procedural High Potential, pushed by the strike, which is headlined by Kaitlin Olson; and Ryan Murphy’s medical drama Dr. Odyssey, starring Joshua Jackson and Don Johnson, which received a straight-to-series order earlier this spring.
