Chris O’Dowd is bringing “Moone Boy” to ABC.
“The IT Crowd” and “Family Tree” star has sold a comedy project, “Moone Boy,” to the network with a put pilot commitment. The half-hour, single-camera project is based on O’Dowd’s semi-autobiographical Irish sitcom of the same title. Described as a “quirky comedy,” the project revolves around 12-year-old Martin Moone and the sarcastic, imaginary friend who helps him navigate the challenges of his eccentric childhood.
O’Dowd — who created, writes and stars in the original series — will once again write and serve as executive producer on the project, which comes from Sony Pictures Television.
