NBC Passes on Untitled Native Community Center Comedy Pilot
23 Jul
Summary
- NBC passed on its remaining comedy pilot, the Untitled Ornelas, Keliiaa and Wilson Project
- The ensemble comedy revolved around employees at a Native community center in Oakland, CA
- The other two NBC pilots, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins and Stumble, were picked up to series
In a recent development, NBC has decided to pass on its remaining comedy pilot, the Untitled Ornelas, Keliiaa and Wilson Project. The ensemble comedy, created by the Rutherford Falls trio of Sierra Teller Ornelas, Jackie Kaliiaa, and Bobby Wilson, was set to revolve around the employees at a Native community center in Oakland, California, as they worked to keep the lights on and support those in need.
Earlier this year, NBC had ordered three comedy pilots, including the Untitled Ornelas, Keliiaa and Wilson Project. However, the network has now picked up two of the other pilots to series - The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins, starring Tracy Morgan and Daniel Radcliffe and executive produced by Tina Fey, and Jeff Astrof and Liz Astrof's Stumble, headlined by Jenn Lyon. The Untitled Ornelas, Keliiaa and Wilson Project was the last of the three pilots to be ordered and the last to be delivered, and it reportedly generated less buzz than the other two projects, which performed well in internal testing and screenings.
