NBC’s feeling confident in a new sitcom which is the brain child of Glee and American Horror Story creator Ryan Murphy.
The network has given Next to Normal some serious money and focus already. Now, it’s a go for a Fall premiere.
Deadline reports:
The network has given a pilot order to The New Normal, a single-camera project co-written by Glee co-creator Murphy and Adler and to be directed by Murphy, which might be the last half-hour to snag a pickup at NBC this season. The Book Of Mormon star Andrew Rannells is set for one of 3 leads in the project, a heartwarming comedy about a blended family of a gay couple and the woman who becomes a surrogate to help them start a family. The comedy had been as close to a sure thing as it could be since NBC landed the pitch in a three-way bidding war with penalty said to be bigger than any other commitment for a half-hour project this season.
Will you be interested in checking out the show? There are a lot of reasons to be curious about it: Ryan Murphy, Andrew Rannells, and NBC’s heavy interest.
