ordered to pilot
DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release, April 2017) Libby Wright (Felicity Huffman) is a smart, opinionated Red-state Republican and Malcolm Black (Courtney B. Vance) is a smooth-talking Blue-state Democrat. Polar opposites - except when it comes to love. Against all odds, this unlikely couple just got married, and are now settling into their new home in Los Angeles along with Malcolm's three kids: nerdy and neurotic eleven year-old Malcolm Jr. aka MJ (Jahi Winston), confident thirteen year-old Cassius (Sayeed Shahidi) who knows how to game the system, and fifteen year-old Naya (Monique Green), the uber-smart, defiant daughter who has no interest in having a booty-less white stepmom. Libby and Malcolm also co-host their new political show "Black & Wright", where these fiery pundits go head-tohead on all of today's hot button issues. Randal Martin (Gary Cole) is their crazy, bordering-on-sociopathic executive producer who loves to stoke their fire. For this, he's hired two segment producers to keep their arguments in overdrive: Zevina "Zev" Adler (Caitlin McGee), a techno journalist who lives by the tweet-based 24- second news cycle, and Bernie Wilson (James Lesure), a put-upon old-school newsman who hates the vapid Twittersphere. Together, Libby and Malcolm duke it out on-air to sway an audience of millions, hoping to get their polarized viewers to vote "red" or "blue" on the show's signature Lean-O-Meter. But when this fiercely competitive couple drops the ball at home, they realize they have to set aside their differences and find the middle ground to raise Malcolm's three kids and prove the skeptics wrong about this marriage of total opposites. All's fair in love and ratings in this family comedy from creators/executive producers Kenya Barris and Vijal Patel (black-ish).
