Liz Astrof is set to write and executive produce the single-camera comedy “Pivoting” at Fox, Variety has learned.
The series is set in a small, middle-class town in Long Island. It follows three close-knit childhood friends, after the death of another. During the grieving period, when psychologists advise not to make any big decisions, the three friends do exactly that and upend their lives in an effort to find happiness while there is still time, taking on the mid-life challenge they never saw coming – becoming un-stuck. The project has received a script order with a penalty attached, as well as an order for one additional script.
