ABC has picked up “The Greatest American Hero” to pilot.
“The Greatest American Hero” is a reimagining of the 1980s comedy of the same name, and follows 30-year-old Meera in her misadventures including tequila and karaoke. She’s searching for meaning in her life — and failing along the way, to the disappointment of her traditional Indian-American family.
But when Meera is entrusted with a super suit to protect the planet, she may finally have found her purpose … though the world itself might not be in the most reliable of hands.
The single-camera comedy is written by Rachna Fruchbom, who executive produced alongside Fierce Baby, Nahnatchka Khan, Mandy Summers and Tawnia McKiernan.
