Fox, the network behind “The X-Files”, is taking in “Ghosted”, Deadline reports.
In a very competitive situation with a slew of buyers, Fox has landed a single-camera comedy from Tom Gormican (That Awkward Moment) that has “The Office” alum Craig Robinson and “Parks and Recreation’s” Adam Scott set to star and executive produce.
Described as a sort of comedic “X-Files”, “ ‘Ghosted’ centers on Leroy Wright (Robinson), a cynical, hilarious skeptic, and Max Allison (Scott), a genius “true believer” in the paranormal, who are hired by the Underground Investigative Service to look into the rampant “unexplained” activity in Los Angeles — all while uncovering a larger mystery that could threaten the existence of the human race.”
Gormican will write the script. He executive produces with Robinson, Scott and 3 Arts’ Mark Schulman and Oly Obst. 20th Century Fox TV is the studio, producing with 3 Arts Entertainment.
