Jane Levy Joins Jake Johnson and Keith David in NBC's New Comedy Pilot

Golden Globe-nominee Jane Levy ("Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist", "Evil Dead", "Don't Breathe") has joined the cast of NBC's new untitled half-hour single-camera comedy from "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" co-creator and executive producer Dan Goor and executive producer Luke Del Tredici. The cast also includes Jake Johnson and Keith David. Akiva Schaffer ("The Naked Gun") is set to direct and executive produce the pilot.

The show is a workplace comedy set in the world of private detectives, which "continues the proud tradition of Los Angeles private eyes that began with Philip Marlowe and will end with this show". It centers on Mickey Wilder (Johnson), a former LAPD cop turned PI. David will play his boss, Garner Taggert, who runs the Garner Taggart PI Agency, where his son Mitch and Mickey are the main PIs. He's a tough guy with somewhat antiquated views of the world.

Levy will play Faye, who is smart, resourceful, and a force of nature. Faye is a whip-smart investigative journalist.

In an anticipation of a greenlight, Universal Television applied for a tax break, which was granted. The comedy received a $1.4 million tax credit from the California Film Commission to shoot the pilot in Los Angeles. Casting is done by Bialy/Thomas & Associates. Goor and Del Tredici are writers and executive producers.
