Fox developing family comedy from It’s Always Sunny star and New Girl producer
Deadline reports Fox has ordered up a script for a new family comedy from former It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia executive producer Rob Rosell and freakin’ Rickety Cricket himself, David Hornsby. Don’t worry, the broadcast medium probably won’t water down any of the raunchiness, not when the show is titled The Bastard. The series centers on Warren, a father-less janitor who finds out he’s actually part of a wealthy family. He only learns this after a “freak accident” at work almost leaves him for dead, though, so he’s not entirely lucky. But this is going to be a rags-to-riches story, as Warren eventually finds a place within the hotelier family. And yet, as Deadline intones, “he’ll always be The Bastard.”
