Mandy Moore Sitcom Gets Pilot Order from ABC


Singer and actress Mandy Moore will hit TV with a new pilot to air on ABC.

The Hollywoord reporter said on Tuesday that ABC had given the pilot orde for the project. The currently untitled sitcom, which was given a production commitment by the network in October, will be directed by Shawn Levy, with Moore starring as Annie: a just-married restaurant owner balancing her family and friends.

Although not brand new to the TV audience, this is Moore's first leading role. She's had a number of guest spots recently on Grey's Anatomy, Scrubs, and How I Met Your Mother.
