Pilot Season: CBS Orders Martin Lawrence Comedy
Martin Lawrence
CBS has ordered a comedy pilot starring Martin Lawrence.
Written by Mike Lisbe and Nate Reger ($#*! My Dad Says), the untitled project will star Lawrence as a widowed father of two teens, who, after losing his construction job, decides to join the police academy and become a cop at the age of 46.
Michael Green and Sam Maydew from The Collective will executive-produce.
The Complete Pilot Report: CBS has Greg Berlanti, Louis C.K. and Bridesmaids stars!
If ordered to series, this will be Lawrence's first regular TV role since the end of his Fox sitcom Martin in 1997. He has a talent deal with CBS this season, and the network was, as of last month, developing two projects for him.
