HOME ECONOMICS (ordered to pilot)

About three adult siblings: one in the 1 percent, one middle-class, and one barely holding on.

Cast (thus far)

Topher Grace (That ‘70s Show) as Tom, the middle sibling and middle-class, but definitely not middle-brow. He’s an intellectual, a novelist who’s had a couple books that sold decently, but his last one did not. He strives to be where his brother is financially, but fears he’ll slip down to his sister’s level. He’s in a creative field so his income fluctuates. That wasn’t such a concern when he was starting out but now he’s plagued by financial anxiety after having twins. Grace’s casting lifted the casting contingency and got this pilot the green light.

KIDS MATTER NOW (ordered to pilot; SeasonZero had this well in advance)

Employees must deal with a boss who is vocal in her stance against working parents—and torments those colleagues—until she herself becomes one when she adopts a child, throwing the office into chaos.

WILD CHILD (ordered to pilot)

New York City teenager Lennon Cochrane's life is turned upside down when she stumbles on a family secret.

Cast (thus far)

Quintessa Swindell (Trinkets) as Lennon, who is creative, rebellious and endlessly indulged by her mother. Lennon rarely heard the word “no” growing up. Raised to believe she could do anything, Lennon never worried about fitting into any conventional box. She found music early, and it became the primary outlet for her self-expression. When her city life is upended, Lennon struggles to adjust to her new circumstances. The casting of Swindell (who is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns) in the role lifted the contingency and the pilot was officially ordered. (Feb 20)
