Michael Cassidy To Star In Aseem Batra Pilot, Sam Huntington In ‘How We Live’

Men At Work star Michael Cassidy is set as one of the two leads of another workplace comedy — NBC’s untitled pilot written by Aseem Batra and directed by Betsy Thomas. The politically incorrect office comedy centers on best friends Dale (Cassidy) and Georgie whose relationship is upended when he starts dating the “perfect” woman. Batra is executive producing with Joe and Anthony Russo for Universal TV. Cassidy is with Gersh and Principal LA.

Being Human star Sam Huntington is set as the male lead in NBC’s single-camera comedy pilot How We Live, written by Steven Cragg and Brian Bradley and directed by Gail Mancuso. The project centers on Russell (Huntington), a blogger, and his wife Holly who move to the suburbs where he begins writing about marriage and the family lives of his suburban friends and neighbors, in the style of an anthropologist who’s stumbled on an undiscovered tribe. Huntington is managed by Jared Schwartz at Generate and attorney is Harris Hartman.
