NBC Orders Pilots From Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones

(via The Hollywood Reporter)

Sometimes, we wonder why Parks and Recreation just didn’t get spin-offs.

The Amy Poehler-produced project, written by Charlie Grandy, that has been in development at NBC, Crown Prince, and now has gotten a pilot order in addition to a pilot order of a multicam, Good Fortune, produced by Rashida Jones and written by Craig Gerard and Matt Zinman.  

The shows will focus on a prince trying to  running a family business, but doing so chaotically, and a very rigid woman that starts to take the advice of a fortune teller, respectively.

In addition to Poehler and Jones, Parks and Recreation showrunner Mike Schur already has a series ordered at NBC, which gives us some hope for the revival of the network’s comedy branding this year.
