WORK MARRIED (ABC, New!) - Michael Showalter and Christina Lee ("Wet Hot American Summer") have sold a multi-camera comedy to the Alphabet about "the lives of unconventional Vermont state senator Michael Sherman and his type-A overachieving chief of staff Christina Kim, which are turned upside down when they realize their work marriage is the only relationship they've got left." Principato-Young Entertainment's Peter Principato will also executive produce for Warner Bros. Television. (Deadline.com)
AND IN OTHER NEWS... - Spike TV has shelved its Jerry Bruckheimer-produced drama "Harvest" over "problems casting the lead" (THR.com); Arjay Smith will recur on "Major Crimes" as Dennis Price (Deadline.com); Bong Joon-ho's 2013 Korean feature "Snowpiercer" is being developed as a TV series by Tomorrow Studios and writer Josh Friedman (Deadline.com); and Victoria Smurfit is set to return to "Once Upon a Time" as Cruella de Vil (TVLine.com).
