David Miner also will executive produce, with Samberg producing. Universal TV, where Schur has an overall deal, is behind the comedy.

The news comes on the same day that CBS gave a pilot order for a Jim Gaffigan-Peter Tolan comedy and The CW ordered a backdoor pilot for a spinoff from The Vampire Diaries.
