NBC Orders 3 New Series for 2021-22 Season; Lifetime Slates Winter 2021 Original Movie Slate, Including 400th Original Movie
In the single-camera comedy American Auto from Justin Spitzer (Superstore), the comedy is set at the headquarters of a major American automotive company in Detroit where a floundering group of executives try to rediscover the company identity amidst a rapidly changing industry. The series stars Ana Gasteyer, Jon Barinholtz, Harriet Dyer, Humphrey Ker, Michael B. Washington, Tye White and X Mayo.
In Grand Crew, a single-camera comedy from Phil Augusta Jackson (Brooklyn Nine-Nine), a group of Black friends unpack the ups and downs of life and love at a wine bar. It will star Echo Kellum, Justin Cunningham, Carl Tart, Aaron Jennings and Nicole Byer. And finally in the drama La Brea, from David Applebaum, when a massive sinkhole mysteriously opens in Los Angeles, it tears a family in half, separating mother and son from father and daughter. When part of the family find themselves in an unexplainable primeval world, alongside a disparate group of strangers, they must work to survive and uncover the mystery of where they are and if there is a way back home. Natalie Zea, Zyra Gorecki and Chiké Okonkwo will star. Additional cast will be announced shortly.
