ABC FAMILY's KEVIN FROM WORK
  • The cable network has given a pilot order to single camera comedy Kevin From Work created by Barbie Adler. McG will direct the pilot, as well as executive produce alongside Aaron Kaplan. Kapital Entertainment and Wonderland Sound & Vision will produce. The project centers on a young man unluckily in love who professes his love to a co-worker, thinking he'll never see her again after he accepts a job offer overseas. But then that job offer is rescinded, and now they have to continue to work with each other.
ABC FAMILY's TOUGH COOKIE
  • The cable network has also ordered a pilot for single camera comedy Tough Cookie created by Lauren Iungerich, who will also direct the pilot. David Janollari will also executive produce. The project centers on a young mother who isn't ready to parent and her daughter who doesn't want to be parented. As everyone knows, it takes a village to raise a child, or rather a child to raise a village.
