Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici's Private Eye Comedy Receives NBC Pilot Order: A Fresh Take on Detective Dramas
The comedy duo behind Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici, are back in the spotlight with an exciting new project. NBC has officially greenlit their single-camera comedy pilot, marking a significant milestone for the show's development. This untitled project, set in the world of private detectives, is a workplace comedy that promises to bring a fresh take on the classic Los Angeles private eye tradition, which began with Philip Marlowe and will end with this show, according to the creators.
The comedy's journey to this point has been a collaborative effort. Goor and Del Tredici, who are also executive producers, have been working on this project for some time. Last fall, NBC secured the project with a pilot production commitment, indicating a strong belief in its potential. In anticipation of this greenlight, the show's studio, Universal Television, applied for and received a tax break, further solidifying the project's chances. The comedy received a substantial $1.4 million tax credit from the California Film Commission to shoot the pilot in Los Angeles, a strategic move that could significantly impact the show's budget and production.
This is not the first time NBC has shown interest in Goor and Del Tredici's work. The network has already ordered a reboot of The Rockford Files, a crime drama pilot inspired by Profiler Ann Burgess, and an untitled project from Dean Georgaris and John Fox. With a potential four drama and four comedy pilots on the horizon, NBC is clearly expanding its programming horizons. The addition of this private eye comedy to the lineup showcases the network's commitment to diverse and engaging content, offering something for every viewer.
The private eye comedy's unique setting and premise, combined with the creators' expertise and the network's support, make it a promising addition to the TV landscape. As the pilot production progresses, fans can anticipate a fresh and captivating take on the detective genre, one that promises to entertain and surprise audiences.
