CINDY SNOW (FOX, New!) - Steve Yockey is developing a new comedy at the network which "follows Cindy Snow, who is the most popular local meteorologist in Savannah, GA, but behind the cameras, she's - not nice. When a freak head injury at work triggers surreal glimpses of the future, Cindy's life quickly unspools.

Heather Morris will also co-executive produce for McKenna's ABC Signature-based Lean Machine banner. (Deadline.com)
