In an early buy, Fox has put in for development On The Farm, from The Big C creator/executive producer Darlene Hunt and Community co-executive producer Andy Bobrow. The single-camera comedy hails from Sony Pictures TV where Hunt and Bobrow are under overall deals. Written by Hunt and Bobrow, On The Farm is a “family-out-of-water” story about a New York dermatologist who moves his family to a farm in rural Kentucky in order to live a simpler life. Hunt and Bobrow recently worked together on Sony TV’s NBC comedy series Save Me, on which Hunt served as showrunner and Bobrow consulted. This marks Bobrow’s return to Fox where his comedy script Iceland went to pilot in 2011. Hunt, who as an actress recurs on Parks & Recreation, is with UTA, Mosaic and Joel McKuin; Bobrow is with UTA and attorney Ken Richman.
