Tina Fey college comedy series lands at Fox

The series is set at a women's college that has decided to let men attend for the first time in its history.

“30 Rock” star and “Saturday Night Live” alum Tina Fey’s college comedy series has been picked up by Fox, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

According to THR, Fox landed the college comedy series after an intense multiple-network bidding battle. The comedy carries with it several big names, including producers Robert Carlock, Matt Hubbard and David Milner. All three worked on NBC’s “30 Rock.”

The college comedy series will be a multicamera comedy, which is set at a women’s college that has decided to let men attend for the first time in its history.

THR notes that Hubbard will write the new comedy, while Fey and the others are set to act as executive producers. Deadline adds that the show comes from Universal Television where Fey and the rest of the producers are under overall deals.

According to Entertainment Weekly, the college comedy series has yet to be given an official title. AceShowbiz says that this is the second deal for Fey this week. The “30 Rock” star previously sold a workplace comedy to NBC.
