ABC to Adapt Israeli Romantic Comedy Series

ABC is set to adapt the Israeli series "The Baker and the Beauty," according to Variety. The network has given a put pilot commitment to an American adaptation.

The new version of the one-hour romantic comedy series follows the Miami love story between a simple baker and an international superstar.

Noa Hollander has it all: she's the most famous woman in the country, the beautiful daughter of a real estate magnate, a successful model with an international career and - up until now - one half of a Hollywood power couple. THE SON of Cuban immigrants, Daniel is a simple guy who still lives with his parents and works at THE FAMILY bakery. A chance encounter at a fancy restaurant leads to unexpected sparks and an even more unlikely love story.

Dean Georgaris will write and executive produce, with David Frankel set to direct and executive produce.

The original version of the show premiered in 2013. It stars Avraham Aviv Alush and Rotem Sela and was created by Assi Azar with Oded Ruskin directing.
