The writer and director of 2012’s Bachelorette has teamed up with the editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan for a new NBC comedy. THR reports that the network has given a script commitment to a single-cam series written by Headland that follows “a failed political blogger who restarts her life in New York as the ‘sex’ editor for a prestigious and provocative women’s magazine.” Ruben Fleischer, David Bernad, and Cosmo editor-in-chief Joanna Coles will all serve as executive producers on the untitled project. “I am elated to collaborate with Joanna on this series,” Headland said in a statement. “Cosmo was a must-read for me growing up. Under Joanna’s influence, the magazine embodies topics for every modern female, which makes this a perfect union.” Headland’s next big project is the Jason Sudeikis/Alison Brie-starring Sleeping with Other People, which is currently set for a 2016 release.
