By: Caryn Robbins
Deadline reports that NBC is developing the half-hour comedy DANNI LOWINSKI, based on the 2010 German TV series. The project hails from GLEE and SCREAM QUEENS co-creator Ian Brennan, Tariq Jalil's Intrigue Entertainment and 20th Century FOX TV.
Brennan will pen the script and serve as showrunner on the project which follows "a working-class woman who is whip-smart, mouthy and undeniably herself. But when she's rejected by every straight-laced traditional law firm in Milwaukee, she decides to change the world from her mall-kiosk law practice, one dollar-a-minute case at a time." The original German legal dramedy starred comedy actress Annette Frier. Debuting in 2010, the show was an instant hit and ran for five seasons, garnering multiple awards along the way.Recent Articles
