(via Deadline)

Showtime is really beefing up on the comedy side on these days. They already have Happyish recast with Steve Coogan, Cameron Crowe and his “Roadies” pilot, and Rachel Bloom starring in the Crazy Ex-Girlfriend pilot.

Now, they’re developing a corporate espionage comedy entitled Professionals from David J. Rosen and Marc Webb, who directed 500 Days of Summer. Perhaps, it’s somewhere along the lines of Michael Clayton as a comedy then?

Above all else, this might be more proof of how comedy as an entire genre is currently migrating in droves to cable and online.

Showtime Orders Crazy Ex-Girlfriend Pilot Starring Rachel Bloom

Showtime is doing a good job of building up their comedy development slate. Last week, they ordered a pilot Cameron Crowe’s Roadies and announced today, Rachel Bloom will be starring in a pilot Crazy Ex-Girlfriend that will showcase her musical comedy chops. 500 Days of Summer director Marc Webb will be directing and Aline Brosh McKenna will be writing.

We sincerely hope Showtime picks this up to series.
