ABC Orders Comedy Pilot from Hannah Simone

ABC has given a pilot green light to Hannah Simone's single-camera comedy, in which she stars, co-writes and executive produces, according to Deadline. It previously had a put pilot commitment.

The comedy, from ABC Studios, is inspired by Hannah's nontraditional Indian family. The untitled project centers on Hannah (Simone) and her Indian-American immigrant father. They always have been close, but after she admits to herself that she's in a dead-end job and he reveals his marriage is over, they're starting over together and each finding a new path. This new chapter will either make them crazy close - or just crazy.

The series is written and executive produced by Simone and former New Girl co-executive producer Matt Fusfeld and Alex Cuthbertson.

Simone, who was born in London to an Indian father and an English mother of German, Italian and Greek Cypriot descent, has a strong bond with her father.

Simone is best known for starring on FOX's New Girl for seven seasons. Last season, Simone played the lead of the ABC's The Greatest American Hero reboot pilot.
