\n\tCBS has ordered its first pilot of the 2027-28 development cycle, a comedy about a would-be stage actress \u2014 that comes with a bit of a twist.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe network has picked up Hilda! (In Lights!)<\/em> to pilot after initially ordering three script<\/a>s to develop. It was one of a few projects CBS put into development in the spring, along with Flint<\/em>, a cop show starring Matt LeBlanc, and a forensic drama called I Know Who You Are<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\n\tCreated by Abbey Caldwell (Laid, Fresh Off the Boat<\/em>), the single-camera Hilda! (In Lights!)<\/em> is described as \u201cone of those classic shows about a plucky small-town optimist who moves to the big city to pursue her life-long dream of starring on Broadway. There\u2019s just one teeny, tiny, totally inconsequential difference \u2014 our hero Hilda is a 70-year-old woman from Nebraska\u00a0with absolutely no experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tShould the pilot make it to series<\/a>, it would become part of a growing crop of TV and streaming series centered on older characters. CBS\u2019 Matlock<\/em>, NBC\u2019s upcoming Newlyweds<\/em> (about a \u201clater in life\u201d marriage), and Netflix\u2019s A Man on the Inside<\/em> and one-and-done series The Boroughs<\/em> all feature lead characters who are 60 or older, once a rarity on TV. <\/p>\n

\n\tCBS is also going into the 2026-27 season with fewer comedies than it has had for most of the past two decades. The network currently has just three, with Georgie & Mandy\u2019s First Marriage<\/em> and newcomer Eternally Yours<\/em> set for the fall and Ghosts<\/em> returning in early 2027. The latter will also air Halloween and Christmas specials before its full season begins.<\/p>\n

\n\tCBS Studios is producing Hilda! (In Lights!)<\/em>. Caldwell is the writer and executive produces with Will Graham, Max Linsky and Tonia Davis for Invitation Media<\/a>. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n
