According to The Hollywood Reporter, Tony winner Thomas Kail is set to direct the potential pilot of FOX's live interactive comedy show, IMMEDIATE FAMILY.

THR describes the multicamera series as: "about a real-life hero who's convinced he's the only one who can keep his super-diverse, super screwed-up family from falling apart. He might be alone on that."
