ABC Pilots Comedy From Dan Bucatinsky, Jen Kirkman, Lisa Kudrow & Ryan Seacrest

Lisa Kudrow and Dan Bucatinsky’s Is Or Isn’t Entertainment (Web Therapy) has teamed with Ryan Seacrest’s Ryan Seacrest Productions (Shades Of Blue) for a single-camera comedy project, which has landed at ABC with a put pilot commitment. Written by actor-writer Bucatinsky and comedian-writer Jen Kirkman, the untitled comedy revolves around four women friends rattled by a fortysomething feeling of irrelevance who embark on a mission to turn their invisibility into invincibility. Bucatinsky, Kudrow, Seacrest and RSP’s Nina Wass executive produce, with Kirkman serving as co-executive producer. CBS TV Studios, where RSP has an overall deal, is the studio.

This marks Bucatinsky’s return to ABC where he had a recurring role on Shonda Rhimes’ Scandal that earned him an Emmy, worked as a writer on Rhimes’ Grey’s Anatomy, and developed a script with Shondaland. With producing partner Kudrow, he executive produced the Kudow-starring The Comeback and Web Therapy, with the duo’s docuseries Who Do You Think You Are? continuing its run.

Kirkman’s debut Netflix original comedy special I’m Gonna Die Alone (And I Feel Fine) is available for streaming. Kirkman, also is a bestselling author, was a longtime writer and roundtable guest on Chelsea Lately and served as the narrator in many episodes of the web-turned-TV series Drunk History.

RSP also has drama The Down Beat, with writer Paul Downs Colaizzo and Ludacris producing, set at CBS.
