Freeform Greenlights Indian Sitcom Pilot; Terry Crews Gets Christmas Specials on The CW

Freeform

Freeform grows its production slate by greenlighting the new comedy pilot Brown Girls from writers Shilpi Roy and Nastaran Dibai. The pilot centers on the relationship between Rimmi, an Indian-American aspiring beauty vlogger, and Devi, a young woman who has recently emigrated from India. Brought together by family, Rimmi and Devi instantly clash over their different views on modern life and love while slowly realizing they both have something to learn from one another. Brown Girls is written by co-executive producer Shilpi Roy (Hipsterhood) and executive producer Nastaran Dibai (Malibu Country, According to Jim), and is executive produced by Tracy Katsky, Aaron Kaplan and Dana Honor. Brown Girls is a multi-camera comedy that joins Freeform's recently announced pilot slate including, single-camera comedy Alone Together, magazine drama Issues and mermaid thriller The Deep.
