Hell Yes: Broad City Is Being Made into a Pilot for Comedy Central
Latest
Today in super cool girls being rewarded for doing super cool things, Broad City, the delightful web series written by and starring young New York comedians Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, has been ordered to pilot by Comedy Central. The series follows two best friends — coincidentally also named Abbi and Ilana — as they navigate their awkward young adult lives in New York City. Remind you of another widely discussed show featuring the trials and tribulations of young women in Brooklyn? Don’t be fooled — Broad City isn’t some Girls rip off (though I’m sure the success of Girls didn’t hurt Broad City‘s chances during pilot season). Jacobson and Glazer have actually been producing 2-7 minute webisodes of the series since 2010. (Check them out on YouTube — they’re well worth the watch.) Also? The show’s being produced by Amy Fucking Poehler. Still need convincing?
