The comedy pilot FUN has been axed.
Multiple outlets report that CBS has pulled the plug on the pilot, which was set to star Michael Urie and Becki Newton. Both Urie and Newton are best known for their roles on the hit series Ugly Betty.
Per Deadline, FUN was described as a life-long love story between a brother and a sister, (Urie and Newton), who always encourage each other to have fun and celebrates life — in spite of the fact that the family business is a funeral home.
The multi-camera comedy pilot hailed from 2 Broke Girls‘ co-creator and executive producer Michael Patrick King and former Ugly Betty executive producers Tracy Poust and Jon Kinnally as well as Warner Bros TV.
In addition to pulling its pilot production commitment for FUN, CBS is expected to make more decisions on pilots that have not been shot following the all-around production shut down due to the Coronavirus crisis.
