Dan Goor & Luke Del Tredici’s PI Comedy Gets Formal NBC Pilot Order
It’s official: NBC‘s single-camera comedy from Brooklyn Nine-Nine co-creator/executive producer Dan Goor and executive producer Luke Del Tredici has been greenlighted to pilot.
One of the strongest comedy pitches to hit the TV marketplace in a while, the untitled project was bought by NBC last fall with a pilot production commitment and a full intention of making the pilot.
In an anticipation of a greenlight, the project’s studio, NBC sibling Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, where both Goor and Del Tredici are under overall deals, applied for a tax break. It was granted, with the comedy receiving a $1.4 million tax credit from the California Film Commission to shoot the pilot in Los Angeles, cementing its chances.
Co-written and executive produced by Goor and Del Tredici, the half-hour is a workplace comedy set in the world of private detectives. Per the creators, it continues the proud tradition of Los Angeles private eyes that began with Philip Marlowe and will end with this show.

This is the fourth pilot pickup this week for NBC, with the Goor/Del Tredici comedy joining three dramas: The Rockford Files reboot, Protection and an untitled Georgaris/Fox project. As Deadline reported, NBC could do as many as four drama and four comedy pilots this season, all in the traditional pilot window.
