Nahnatchka Khan keeps busy. The “Always Be My Maybe” helmer is teaming up with “Will & Grace” alumna Sally Bradford McKenna– together they’re developing a new comedy series, “Laid,” at Peacock. Deadline reports that the project is based upon an Australian series of the name, which aired for two seasons and premiered in 2011.
Khan and Bradford McKenna are writing and exec producing the series, which focuses on a woman who “finds out her former lovers are dying in unusual ways [and] must come to terms with her complicated past.”
Perhaps best known for ABC sitcoms “Fresh Off the Boat” and “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23,” Khan has since co-created and exec produced “Young Rock,” and directed her “Always Be My Maybe” star Ali Wong’s comedy special, “Ali Wong: Don Wong.” Her upcoming releases include slasher comedy feature “Totally Killer” from Amazon Studios and Blumhouse, which she is directing. She was nominated for two Emmys for her work on animated show “American Dad.”
Bradford McKenna earned an Emmy nom for “Will & Grace,” and has since co-exec produced and written for shows “Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23,” “The Goldbergs,” and “Ghosted.”
