The Good Doctor star and producer Freddie Highmore has sold the first project under the overall deal he recently signed with the studio behind the popular ABC medical drama, Sony Pictures TV. Love, Dad, an hourlong drama from Highmore’s Alfresco Pictures and Sony TV, has been put in development at ABC.
Written by Dave Collard, Love, Dad is described as an emotional family drama that is centered around adult siblings from a blue-collar family in the most blue-collar of cities — Buffalo, New York. As the siblings navigate the ups and downs of their lives, they’re aided (and sometimes impeded) by each other, but also an unlikely source — their dead father, who has left them each an email account that he’s been writing to for their entire lives, so that he would always be there for them… even when he wasn’t.
Collard will executive produce with Highmore.
