Gossip Girl Prod. Schwartz Developing CBS Comedy

Josh Schwartz is getting into the comedy game.

The executive producer of Gossip Girl is teaming with fellow Chuck producer Matt Miller to pen a multicamera script for CBS. If the Warner Bros. Television project makes it to air, it will mark Schwartz’s first half-hour scripted comedy series.

The untitled project follows a twentysomething newlywed couple navigating their new life together. The pilot, which picks up after the couple’s honeymoon, is inspired by Schwartz and Miller’s recent marriages.

Schwartz’s choosing the multicamera way seems like another step in the format’s recent revival among younger viewers—think CBS’ How I Met Your Mother and The Big Bang Theory.
