NBC is moving forward with its Jerrod Carmichael comedy. Marking the network's first new comedy order for the 2015-16 season.
The network has handed out a six-episode series order to the twice-developed multicamera entry inspired by the life of the stand-up comedian, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
After first being developed last pilot season, the network opted to take a second stab at the semi-autobiographical comedy and reshot the pilot this season. (The series, after being developed as Go Jerrod Go, is now untitled.)
From Universal Television, Carmichael stars in the irreverent sitcom inspired by Jerrod's relationships with his say-anything, contrarian father (David Alan Grier); his therapist-in-training girlfriend (Amber West); his ever-hustling brother (Lil Rel Howery) and his mother (Loretta Devine) who is always right with Jesus.
The pilot was written by Carmichael and Nick Stoller (Undeclared, Sex Tape) and is exec produced by Ravi Nandan and directed by Scott Ellis.

ReplyDeleteDon't worry, in the end it'll turn out that Jarrod never was a part of this and NBC was fooling the audience into believing that he would appear.
