WORST HOUSE ON THE BLOCK (ABC, New!) - Writer Niki Schwartz-Wright and director Natalia Anderson are set to team for a new single-camera comedy at the Alphabet in which "when a poor family from South Texas inherits the worst house on the block in a chic LA neighborhood, they cause quite a stir amongst their new neighbors. Tensions may flare, but ultimately, we'll watch as three different families, with nothing in common but their zip code and how overwhelmed they feel by the sheer number of Love Island episodes there are to watch, start to find common ground and slowly-but-surely, friendship." 3 Arts Entertainment's Oly Obst will also executive produce for 20th Television.
