Exclusive: ABC has passed on its multi-camera comedy pilot starting stand-up comedian Nate Bargatze, from The Carmichael Show creators Jerrod Carmichael and Ari Katcher and showrunner Danielle Sanchez-Witzel. Drew Goddard directed the pilot, produced by 20th Century Fox TV in association with Brillstein Entertainment Partners, which received an off-cycle pilot order in late May.
While ABC has opted not to go forward with the Nate Bargatze project, the network recently reaffirmed its commitment to moving its development process off-cycle, which the network has rebranded “second cycle.”
The Nate Bargatze comedy, penned by Bargatze, Carmichael, Katcher and Bargatze’s writing partner Dan Shaki, was originally set up at Fox during the 2017-18 development season with a put pilot commitment. It did not go to pilot and was pursued by ABC, which had been looking to work with Carmichael and was on the market for blue-collar, Middle America family comedies.
