ABC and "Will & Grace" duo team on gay-themed comedy

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) -
In one of the first
major TV deals since the Hollywood writers strike ended last
Tuesday, ABC has ordered a comedy pilot from the creators of
"Will & Grace."

The central characters mirror the relationship between
"Will & Grace" creators David Kohan, who is straight, and Max
Mutchnick, who is gay. They have been friends since their
teenage years at Beverly Hills High School.

Last development season, the duo wrote a CBS pilot
revolving around a gay writer, a straight writer and their hot
young assistants.

The ABC project is brand new, and was written on spec
before the strike began on November 5. Warner Bros. Television,
where they have a production deal, shopped it to the networks
immediately after the strike ended.
