NBC Starts Comedy Playground Initiative to Launch Two Series in 2015
NBC is making a bold, but great move, by looking for two new original comedy series via submissions at their brand new Comedy Playground.
There will be taking pitches that will be reviewed by a board made up of Aziz Ansari, Jason Bateman, Robert Carlock, Sean Hayes, Mindy Kaling, Jason Katims, Josh Lieb, Eva Longoria, Adam McKay, Seth Meyers, Todd Milliner, Will Packer, Amy Poehler, Craig Robinson, Maya Rudolph, Mike Schur, Adam Scott and Mike Shoemaker, then narrowed to ten projects for pilot presentations, then will greenlight two series to follow each other in an one-hour block.
We can only hope that they’ll find their next hit comedy series to follow Parks and Recreation and Community for next year.
