Former Saturday Night Live funny guy Will Forte has snagged the coveted lead role in Rebounding, Fox’s single-camera comedy pilot from Modern Family co-creator Steve Levitan.
The project, written by Joe Port and Joe Wiseman and directed by Jason Winer, is described as an uplifting comedy about a man (Forte) recovering from the death of his fiance with the help of the idiots on his pick-up basketball team.
Hayes MacArthur (Perfect Couples), Matt Jones (Breaking Bad), Aly Michalka (Hellcats) and Malcolm Barrett (Better Off Ted) round out the cast.
