ABC has picked up the Mitchell Hurwitz (Arrested Development)-produced comedy based on the superlatively hilarious BBC comedy The Thick of It. It's official, ready, done. Variety has updated the cast of the show. Here are the vitals:The Thick of It (Sony Pictures TV)
Exec producers: Mitchell Hurwitz and Richard Day (writers), Paul Telegdy, Armando Iannucci
Cast: Christopher Guest, Rhea Deehorn, Oliver Platt, Michael McKean, John Michael Higgins, Alex Borstein, Wayne Wilderson
Logline: Office workers for a low-level congressman, based on a BBC format.
Holy crap in a handbag! If the show doesn't become a Christopher Guest vehicle and the writing dominates like the BBC version, this has the potential to be supremely funny. Guest's look of disbelief should be perfect.
