Swingtown
creator
Mike Kelley is developing
BiCoastal - a new one-hour drama exploring marriage, relationships as well as sexuality.
Kelley, who formerly worked on
Jericho before creating
Swingtown, just signed a two-year overall deal with CBS Paramount Network TV, says
The Hollywood Reporter . Under the deal, he'll be producing
BiCoastal for CBS-owned Showtime along with
Will & Grace star
Sean Hayes' Hazy Mills Prods.
The show will be about a successful family man who struggles to deal with family life (with his wife and kids) in Los Angeles as he falls in love with a man in New York.
"It has a lot of the watermarks of things I love to write about - people with secrets and high-stakes love lives," Kelley told
The Reporter. He also said that compared to
Swingtown, that he wanted to "a bit of a harder edge." Insert naughty sex joke here.
