Dan Goor, co-creator of “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” along with executive producer Luke Del Tredici, has received a pilot order from NBC for a new detective comedy that remains untitled for the time being. The project promises to carry on the storied tradition of Los Angeles private eyes, humorously noting in its logline that it will “end” with this production.
Both Goor and Del Tredici will serve as executive producers, with Universal Television, part of Universal Studio Group, producing the pilot. Details surrounding the cast and specific narrative elements are yet to be disclosed.
This announcement comes amid a flurry of pilot orders from NBC in recent days. The network recently spotlighted a drama pilot stemming from Dean Georgaris and John Fox, inspired by the real-life research of Dr. Ann Burgess with the FBI. Another drama pilot, titled “Protection,” created by Josh Safran, Jenna Bush Hager, and Ben Spector, focuses on a family of law enforcement agents targeted by a shadowy assassin. Additionally, NBC has greenlit a contemporary reimagining of “The Rockford Files,” created by Mike Daniels, known for his work on “Sons of Anarchy.”
On the comedy front, NBC is also developing a law-oriented series called “Last Chance Lawyer,” featuring Henry Winkler as an unconventional criminal defense attorney. The character passionately defends his clients, firmly believing that “the system is always guiltier.”
Further highlighting NBCUniversal’s commitment to comedy, “Dig,” a series by Michael Schur and Amy Poehler, is also on the way. It follows four archaeologists drawn into an international conspiracy and is set to premiere on Peacock.
This new collaboration between Goor and Del Tredici is a promising addition to NBC’s growing slate of innovative series, blending humor with detective narratives in a way that could resonate with fans of classic private eye stories.
