ABC Buys Whoopi Goldberg and Ben Silverman's IMAN & ANDY

The Hollywood Reporter writes that ABC has picked up an interracial romantic comedy series from Whoopi Goldberg, Principato Young, and Ben Silverman's Electus. IMAN & ANDY is written by Angela Ruhinda.

"Iman & Andy is a brilliant spec script with a specific voice and point of view," Silverman said. "Whoopi's involvement has already been profound. Goldberg added, "I'm so excited we are doing this together. I think this is going to be fun and interesting television."
