Untitled David Hyde Pierce NBC Comedy

Emmy winner David Hyde Pierce is returning to NBC with an untitled multi-camera comedy now in development at the network. Written by sitcom veteran Marco Pennette, who co-created Caroline in the City, the project stars Pierce as a man reckoning with the consequences of an unexamined life. Pierce and Pennette serve as executive producers, with Universal Television producing. The project marks Pierce's return to NBC more than two decades after his 11-season run as Dr. Niles Crane on Frasier, for which he won four Emmy Awards. Pennette brings extensive multi-camera comedy experience, having created B Positive for CBS and worked on Mom, Desperate Housewives, and Ugly Betty. The project is looking to join NBC's expanding slate of multi-camera comedies alongside Happy's Place and Newlyweds.
