Tim Hobert and Aseem Batra, who worked as writers on the original series, are set to take on showrunner duties for the revival. They will collaborate with Lawrence, Jeff Ingold, and Liza Katzer from Doozer Productions, alongside Braff, Faison, and Chalke.

The revival bolsters ABC’s comedy lineup, which includes other shows like “Abbott Elementary” and “Shifting Gears.” The cast will be represented by major agencies, including CAA, UTA, and WME.
