Fox has given a pilot production commitment to “Ghosted”, a series described as a comedic sort of “X-Files”, Variety has confirmed.
Gormican, a relatively unseasoned writer with only a couple credits under his belt, will be writing the show’s script.
FOX reportedly won the pilot “In a very competitive situation with a slew of buyer”, which is a good sign, because That Awkward Moment was pretty bad movie that squandered a great cast, and it would be a shame if a premise this delightful followed suit. Taking a cue from The X-Files, Robinson will play a skeptic and Scott, the true believer in a pair hired by a Los Angeles organization called the Underground Investigative Service to explore several unexplained paranormal events in the city.
(We can nearly hear that instrumental theme music now!) Robinson’s character will reportedly be a cynical, yet hilarious, sceptic (à la Dana Scully, minus the humour) named Leroy Wright while Scott is set to portray experienced, “true believer” of the paranormal between them, Max Allison. Between the two of them, they’ve got a solid resume of TV experience. Aside from their work on that title however, Robinson was last seen in R-rated animation Sausage Party and drama-thriller series Mr. Robot. Both Robinson and Scott will join him as executive producers.
