Comedy’s hot summer continues with another very
big commitment for a half-hour project. In a competitive
situation with multiple networks bidding, Sony TV /Peter Tolan‘s
pitch Irreversible, based on the Israeli series Bilti Hafich , landed
at ABC . The network has greenlighted a pilot with a big, seven-
figure penalty behind it off of a pitch — a rare feat for any pitch
and a first for an Israeli format. In another first for a format
originating from the Middle Eastern country, Irreversible will be
written solely by the Israeli co-creator of the original series Segahl Avin , who
also will direct the U.S. pilot. Avin is executive producing with Fedora’s Tolan
and Michael Wimer and Reshet TV, the Israeli
broadcaster behind the original series . Irreversible
centers on Andy and Sarah, a somewhat eccentric, self-
absorbed couple, and their trials and tribulations —
most of which they bring upon themselves.
