Back to You producers are coming back to TV — this time on ABC.The Alphabet has snapped up Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd to create an as-yet-untitled comedy about three American families, told through the perspective of a Dutch documentary filmmaker, according to The Hollywood Reporter.How committed is ABC to the series? It's already put in a pilot order with a significant penalty attached.Shot single-camera style and produced by 20th Century Fox, the series will revolve around one traditional family and two untraditional ones — a gay couple with a newly adopted Vietnamese tot; and a May-December couple with a son. The filmmaker is a former foreign exchange student who had stayed with one of the families years ago.The show was inspired by the Levitan and Lloyd's own family lives; both are married with children.In addition to last season's Back to You, the duo had also collaborated on Frasier and Wings. — Joyce Eng
