Every parent’s worst nightmare could soon become a reality on NBC.

The network has ordered a pilot based on the 1990 John Ritter movie Problem Child, which chronicles the “cat-and-mouse game” between a loving couple and their hellish (see photo) son.

Problem Child is being written by Scot Armstrong (Old School), who will executive-produce alongside Peter Traugott, Rachel Kaplan, Robert Simonds and Brian Grazer.
