ABC has bought a comedy based on the ‘Why You’re Not Married’ blog post and book by Tracy McMillan. McMillan (pictured, via) will serve as one of the show’s writers. Deadline reported that the show will focus on “the current state of modern American love.”
Here’s more from the article: “The project, described as ‘a brutally honest look at love,’ stems from McMillan’s hugely popular February blog post titled ‘Why You’re Not Married,’ which went viral and became the second most read story on Huffington Post with some 2.9 million views…The post launched a bidding war among book publishers, eventually landing at Ballantine/Random House.”
McMillan has an established career in television writing; her credits includes Life on Mars, United States of Tara and Mad Men. Earlier this year, HarperCollins’ It Books imprint released her memoir, I Love You and I’m Leaving You Anyway. Her second book, Why You’re Not Married … Yet: How To Stop Acting Like a Bitch And Start Getting Hitched, will be published on May 29, 2012.
