WarnerMedia has given a four-episode pilot order to a daily sitcom called “Today’s Special” from “Wet Hot American Summer” creator David Wain and “Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” writer A.D. Miles.
The scripted, single-camera comedy is described as blending the storytelling mechanics of a daily soap opera with the tone and style of a single-camera sitcom and the topical responsiveness of late-night TV. It would take place in a 24-hour diner that serves as a hub for a diverse group of staff and regulars, whose lives intertwine in ongoing storylines while also reacting to trending topics and the day’s headlines.
No word yet on which WarnerMedia property the project is being developed for.
