Broderick will play Jack, a recently widowed father who raises his 12-year-old son while jumping back into the dating pool.
Quill is writing and executive-producing the as-yet-untitled, multi-camera pilot.
CBS Television Studios is producing.
Should the project go to series, this would mark Broderick's first regular run on television. He has guest-starred on a number of series, appearing in recent years on "30 Rock," "Louie" and "Modern Family."
Deadline first reported the news of Broderick's casting.
