Deadline reports that ABC has bought the semi-autobiographical comedy WE ALL GOT JUNK from actor-writer Stephen Schneider and producer Will Gluck. Schneider will serve as executive producer and writer. No word yet on whether Schneider will act in the project.
WE ALL GOT JUNK is passed on the real-life recycling business that was started by Schneider and his brothers. The show will follow the recycling family as they try to keep their business afloat while also managing their own family life.
Schneider and his brothers Cory and Barry started the company Gizmogul in the basement of their childhood home. Within the last few years, Gizmogul has become extremely successful. The company is the leader in mobile device and electronic scrap recycling, where they see over a million devices annually.
Gluck will also serve as executive producer through his company Olive Bridge Entertainment. HAMILTON alum Jonathan Groff will also produce.
Schneider can currently be seen as a recurring character on Comedy Central hit BROAD CITY and FX's YOU'RE THE WORST. He is currently filming the TRANSFORMER spinoff BUMBLEBEE.
