Exclusive: HBO Max has put in development Accessible, a half-hour comedy from Special creator, writer and star Ryan O’Connell, Jim Parsons and Todd Spiewak’s That’s Wonderful Productions and Warner Bros. TV, where That’s Wonderful is under a deal.
Written by O’Connell, Accessible is a half-hour “traumedy” that follows Clare, a 15-year-old girl who’s recently been in an accident and is forced to attend a boarding school for people with all kinds of disabilities. There, she discovers the usual teenage dilemmas of sex, love, and friendship are even more complicated in a wheelchair. It’s like if a John Hughes movie had a handicapped orgy, per producers.
O’Connell executive produces with Parsons and Spiewak via That’s Wonderful Productions. Eric Norsoph, That’s Wonderful’s Head of Development and Production, will co-executive produce and oversee the project for the company. Warner Bros. TV is the studio.
