Bill Cosby to Return to NBC with New Family Comedy!


The winning formula that was shared with the world more than 20 years ago is making a return!  Bill Cosby has partnered with The Cosby Show producer Tom Werner who will produce a new family comedy series for the peacock station, NBC! 

Bill Cosby
The Hollywood Reporter exclusively shares that the new comedy series will be centred around Cosby who will play the patriarch of a multi-generational family (similar to the Cosby’s), and share the actors take on marriage and parenting.

Presently there is a search underway for writers (submit via your agent) and development of the project is being eyed for development outside the traditional pilot season window.  About the show Cosby said:  "I want to be able to deliver a wonderful show to [a] network.  Because there is a viewership out there that wants to see comedy, and warmth, and love, and surprise, and cleverness, without going into the party attitude.  They would like to see a married couple that acts like they love each other, warts and all, children who respect the parenting, and the comedy of people who make mistakes.  Warmth and forgiveness.  So I hope to get that opportunity, and I will deliver the best of Cosby, and that will be a series, I assume, that we could get enough people week after week after week to tune in to, to come along with us."

Additional information about the yet to0 be named show coming soon!
