In a competitive situation, a
half-hour project from actor-
writer Jay Baruchel has landed at
ABC with a significant penalty
and pre-negotiated license fees.
Baruchel will co-write the 20th
Century Fox TV/Tagline comedy
with his writing partner Jesse
Chabot. The semi-autobiographical project
centers on a successful actor who eschews the
fame and superficiality of Hollywood to move
back home to Burlington, VT where he buys a
house down the street from his mom and invites
his two best friends from childhood to move in
with him. CAA-repped Baruchel and Chabot will
executive produce with their managers, Willie
Mercer and Marc Hamou of Thrulein. Baruchel is
not attached to star.
