Oy Vey! David Schwimmer to Produce TV Pilot About Orthodox Jews

Showbiz411's Rodger Friedman reports exclusively that David Schwimmer is producing a new TV pilot which will follow "ultra Orthodox Jews who live in the insular community of Fishkill, New York."

Titled FISHKILL, the 'Friends' star's Dark Harbor Productions has optioned it through their partner Tom Hodges. Lisa David penned the script, with funnyman Bob Balaban set to helm the pilot.

According to the site, the show will feature the fictional Moishe, Lev, and Bathsheba. "Lev is a diamond dealer in the city. Bathsheba supposedly meets a transgender person while shopping for wigs. There is going to be nudity and sex among the wigs."
