An “X-Files”-style comedy? It’s not too good to be true, and it will be shooting in Los Angeles!
“Ghosted,” which stars “Parks & Recreation” favorite Adam Scott and perpetual scene-stealer Craig Robinson, has received a series order from Fox.
One of this past pilot season’s hottest commodities, the single-camera project comes courtesy of writer Tom Gormican (“That Awkward Moment”), and will depict Scott as a “true believer” of the paranormal and Robinson, his skeptical counterpart, recruited by the Bureau Underground to investigate “unexplained” events happening in L.A., which may pose a threat to the human race.
Greenstein/Daniel Casting, credited with casting TV Land’s Betty White-starrer “Hot in Cleveland,” is heading up casting duties.
Both Scott and Robinson will pull double duty as executive producers, along with Gormican, Mark Schulman, Oly Obst, as well as showrunner Kevin Etten (“Workaholics,” “Scrubs”).
On the studio front is 20th Century Fox TV, producing with 3 Arts Entertainment. In addition to Scott and Robinson, the pilot starred Sarah Baker, Ally Walker, Adeel Akhtar, among others.
The comedy, which reunites Scott and Robinson following their success with the raucous “Hot Tub Time Machine” features, is slated to debut this fall as part of Fox’s 2017–18 season.
