NBC Gives Pilot Order to Amber Ruffin Sitcom; Netflix Announces Beef
NBC has given a pilot order to the multi-camera pilot Non-Evil Twin from Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group and Straight to Cards. Amber Ruffin will write, executive produce and star. Kenny Smith, Jenny Hagel and Olivia Morris will also produce. In the pilot, a woman is forced to step in to her sister's role as the leader of a Fortune 500 company despite knowing little about business and even less about the way her sister has been running the corporation. More details to come, especially if this is picked up to series.
Netflix released the official first look photos of Beef, premiering globally on April 6, 2023. Beef follows the aftermath of a road rage incident between two strangers. Danny Cho (Steven Yeun), a failing contractor with a chip on his shoulder, goes head-to-head with Amy Lau (Ali Wong), a self-made entrepreneur with a picturesque life. The increasing stakes of their feud unravel their lives and relationships in this darkly comedic and deeply moving series. 10 episodes have been ordered of the 30-minute Dark Comedy starring Steven Yeun (Danny) & Ali Wong (Amy), Joseph Lee (George), Young Mazino (Paul), David Choe (Isaac), Patti Yasutake (Fumi). Recurring are Maria Bello (Jordan Forster), Ashley Park (Naomi), Justin H. Min, Mia Serafino, and Remy Holt (Junie).
