From Michael Schur ("The Good Place," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine") and Josh Malmuth ("New Girl," "Superstore") comes a hilarious new comedy about the best neighborhood bar in San Diego.

Bar owner Abby (Natalie Morales) has found her true calling, hosting friends and newcomers alike. However, her perfect world is shaken when new landlord Bill (Nelson Franklin) unexpectedly shows up and proposes major changes.

The first multi-camera comedy to shoot completely outdoors in front of a live studio audience, "Abby's" also stars Neil Flynn as Fred, Jessica Chaffin as Beth, Kimia Behpoornia as Rosie and Leonard Ouzts as James.

"Abby's" is produced by Universal Television, Fremulon, Waila Inc. and 3 Arts Entertainment. In addition to executive producing, Malmuth also serves as showrunner. Schur and David Miner ("The Good Place," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," "30 Rock") also executive produce. Pamela Fryman directed the pilot.
