ABC picks up comedy pilot starring Mandy Moore

On Tuesday, it was reported that ABC ordered a pilot for a sitcom with Tangled star Mandy Moore.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the series was created by Bob Fisher and Stacy Traub and is still without a title. Moore will play a newlywed that runs a hip new restaurant in her hometown. The opportunity will force her to deal with a “needy and high maintenance family,” according to ABC’s description of the series.

The Hollywood Reporter notes that ABC had actually committed to the project back in October. The series will originate from Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements’ production shingle, 21 Laps/Adelstein. Adelstein, Clements and writer Bob Fisher will executive produce. Night at the Meuseum director Shawn Levy has been brought on board to direct the pilot and act as an additional executive producer. Deadline notes that Levy has also been tapped to direct the pilot for Little Brother for Fox.

The project will bring Moore and producer Jon Leshay back together. Leshay is a musical supervisor who worked on several films that Moore starred in. The project also continues Moore’s relationship with Disney, which includes guest starring on Grey’s Anatomy and voicing Rapunzel in Tangled.

ABC also announced that it has picked up Mistresses, a drama much like Desperate Housewives, for a full season to air during the summer of 2013, reports Deadline. That series is based off a BBC series of the same name and centers on a group of women who have scandalous romantic lives.
