According to MSNBC, NBC has given Fox’s new series a straight-to-series order! Arrested Development” writer Sam Laybourne is on board, as well as EASY A director Will Gluck, and it will start production on a full 22 episode season later this year.
The untitled single-camera comedy will star Fox “as a husband and father of three from New York City dealing with family, career and challenges, including Parkinson’s disease.” NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt said in a statement yesterday,
“To bring Michael J. Fox back to NBC is a supreme honor, and we are thrilled that one of the great comedic television stars is coming home again…From the moment we met with Michael to hear his unique point of view about this new show, we were completely captivated and on board. He is utterly relatable, optimistic and in a class by himself, and I have no doubt that the character he will create — and the vivid family characters surrounding him — will be both instantly recognizable and hilarious. Being in business with him is a pleasure of the highest order.”
