Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-creator Dan Goor and executive producer Luke Del Tredisi have landed a pilot order for an untitled detective comedy from NBC.
According to the cheeky logline, the project “continues the proud tradition of Los Angeles Private Eyes that began with Philip Marlowe and concludes with this show.”
The pilot will be executive produced by Goor and del Tredici, and will be produced by Universal Television, a division of Universal Studios Group. Additional details about the pilot, including who will be cast, have not been disclosed.
This is one of many pilots ordered by NBC over the past week. On Thursday, the network announced the pilot for a drama from Dean Georgis and John Fox, inspired by the real-life FBI research of Dr. Anne Burgess. Earlier this week, the network announced it had ordered a pilot for a drama from Josh Safran, Jenna Bush Hager and Ben Spector called “Protection,” about the family of a law enforcement officer who becomes the target of a mysterious assassin. Additionally, NBC has given a pilot order for a “modern update” of “The Rockford Files” from Mike Daniels (“Sons of Anarchy”).
The network also announced an in-production comedy series, “Last Chance Lawyer.” Henry Winkler plays an unconventional criminal defense attorney who passionately defends his losing clients, believing that “no matter what they are accused of, the system will always convict them,” according to the logline.
NBCUniversal’s comedies also include Dig, a series starring Michael Schur (The Office, Parks and Recreation) and Amy Poehler about four archaeologists caught up in an international conspiracy. The show will debut on Peacock.
