Andy Samberg To Star In Fox & Universal TV’s Mike Schur/Dan Goor Cop Comedy
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: In a big early casting coup this broadcast development season, Saturday Night Live star Andy Samberg is set as the lead of Fox‘s untitled Mike Schur/Dan Goor comedy pilot. The single-camera comedy, written by the Parks And Recreation duo of co-creator/exec producer/showrunner Schur and executive producer Goor, is about a diverse group of detectives in a precinct at the very edge of New York City. Emmy winner Samberg will play the lead detective. He will also serve as a producer of the comedy, from Universal TV, which is executive produced by Schur, Goor and 3 Arts’ David Miner. “Andy’s hilarious, and he was the first guy we thought of when we designed the part,” Schur and Goor said. “From the moment we mentioned his name, everyone at Universal Television and Fox was 100% on-board. Andy loved the pitch, and it all came together really quickly. We couldn’t be happier.”

In a fierce biggest bidding war, Schur and Goor’s pitch landed at Fox in August with a rich pilot production commitment. The casting of Samberg will no doubt turn that into a pilot order once the script is completed.

During his seven-year stint on Saturday Night Live, which he left this summer, Samberg, along with his Lonely Island cohorts Akiva Schaffer and Jorma Taccone, ushered the venerable sketch comedy show into the digital age with their viral digital shorts, including megahit “D*** In A Box” featuring Timberlake, which won them an Emmy.

Samberg is currently starring on the hit BBC Three sitcom Cuckoo, where he plays an idle young American who marries a British girl and comes into conflict with his wife’s overprotective father (Greg Davies). He can also be seen in the features Celeste & Jesse Forever and is heard opposite Adam Sandler in the animated box office hit Hotel Transylvania after recently starring opposite Sandler in That’s My Boy. Samberg, Schur and Goor are repped by UTA. Samberg is managed by Mosaic, Schur by 3 Arts.

Not a huge fan of Samberg, but with Michael Schur at the helm, that could change.

If this is half as good as Parks and Rec, I already love this.

Make sure to support it

“Ever since we sold this show to Fox I’ve regretted letting it get away, and it’s high time it came back to its rightful home,” said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment. “Mike Schur, Dan Goor, and Andy Samberg grew up on NBC and we’re all thrilled that one of the smartest, funniest, and best cast comedies in a long time will take its place in our comedy line-up. I speak for everyone at NBC, here’s to the Nine-Nine!”

Now if, like, FXX or Adult Swim would take a look at Last Man on Earth...

Nine nine!

 

[NotNickFury]

With only 13 episodes ordered, unless NBC extends the season's run or ordered more episodes, I wonder if this would be the last season.

Yeah, that had me curious too!

 

[Sawyer]

Ehhh... maybe, maybe not. Lest we forget, both seasons of The Good Place have been that length. I could see Good Place in the fall, then B99 takes it's timeslot at midseason, and they see how it goes from there.

Yeah, everyone in this thread clearly doesn't watch it.

 

[NotNickFury]

Sure, both seasons of The Good Place have been that length, but they also have never been longer or shorter than that. As for Brooklyn Nine-Nine, it could probably slide into someone's slot with a shorter run, similar to how Agent Carter aired in Agent of SHIELD's slot, but it would depend on when and what NBC might already have scheduled.

 

[Sawyer]

Never change, Tumblr.

Yes. Honestly, what I expected if it went to NBC.

The vindication thing was exactly what I was thinking when I heard this news. Thank you Darth.

[Dr. Evil]

Yes. Honestly, what I expected if it went to NBC.

If I am not mistaken, this marks his return to NBC since his recurring role on SVU.

 

[Sawyer]

Toit

 

[DawnWarrior]

I wonder if they can just carry on shooting with the same set for the precinct. I'm guessing yes. If not, then they could open S6 with a fire at the precinct, followed by a rebuild/remodeling, and after like 3 episodes we get the new NBC set.

I also wonder if this rollercoaster of being cancelled/uncancelled will be referenced by the characters, like Futurama did with their "Executive Chow" jokes.

 

[Sawyer]

Well it's not like they have to pack up and film in Ireland now or something. I think the sets will be the same.

 

[Fincher]

Universal produces the show, so changing the network shouldn't affect anything.

 

[MadVillainy]

Yeah, everyone in this thread clearly doesn't watch it.

There's really no reason to be snide or sarcastic.

And there are other ways to support a show. And just because you watch a show doesn't mean you're supporting it. Also what I was saying was also a general term to everyone, not even in this thread, who didn't support the show until it was already cancelled.

 

[NotNickFury]

Yeah, while the network change may not affect anything, I do wonder- and I doubt this will be the case if the same creative team is involved and no major additions- if the show might have a different feel to it, like when Scrubs moved from NBC to ABC.

 

[terry78]

Its pretty much got the same flow as 30 Rock so hopefully, they maintain the aesthetic

 

[Drizzle]

Well done, NBC. That was also a really quick turn of events.

 

[Pennywise]

I imagine it won’t change much.

 

[samsnee]

So happy. I’m actually fine with the 13 episode order as The Good Place has the same and it’s doing fine. If anything this might mean a tighter overall arching theme to a season since it’s shorter.
