Lend your ears to them and they will give you three next comedy pilots. According to Variety, ABC took up previously revealed information Wonder Years reboot of executive producer Lee Daniels. Announced in July, the new series will explore how “a middle-class black family from Montgomery, Alabama in the late 1960s made sure it was wonderful years for them too.” Fred Savage, the star of the original period comedy, who followed the Arnold family from 1968 to 1973, will be the executive producer and direct the pilot. Saladin Patterson will write the pilot, as well as the EP.

The network also chose another single camera comedy pilot, Maggie, by Maggie Mull and Justin Adler, based on a short film by Tim Curcio. The show follows a young woman who “tries to cope with life while accepting her capacities as a medium.” An untitled third multi-cam pilot, which features “three former sorority sisters who lost touch after college and reunited at a pivotal time in their lives,” will be written by Regina Hicks and the executive production by Viola Davis, Julius Tennon and Larry Wilmore.
