EXCLUSIVE: Cougar Town co-creator Kevin Biegel has set up his first project as a solo creator, a single-camera sibling comedy. The untitled project, which landed at Fox with penalty, is based on Biegel’s relationship with his siblings and follows three very different brothers working together in the Army at a small base in Florida. Biegel is writing/executive producing. 20th Century Fox TV is producing the project, which stems from a blind script deal the studio had with Biegel.
Biegel co-created Cougar Town with Bill Lawrence. He served as a co-executive producer in the first season and executive producer in Seasons 2 and 3. He segued to a consulting role on the show after its move to TBS and Lawrence’s departure as showrunner to focus on development. Before Cougar Town, UTA-repped Biegel worked on Lawrence’s medical comedy Scrubs.

With that goofy ass smile you know it’s gonna be funny!
I’m so proud of you. With all your famous Hollywood money, you better buy your brother a new sleeping bag.
It’d better be luxurious and soft.
Kevin is the best!!
What what?!
Looking forward to the return of the best Deadline commenter ever!
I will do everything I can to make this show respectful and honest. Also Mom, please stop posting on here and telling family secrets.
Wow, no mean comments yet!
Was that pic from a Crest Whitestrips commerical? Congrats, you deserve it!
Hi Deadline, this is actually me. I just wanted to say thank you, and I promise to try as hard as I possibly can to make this show honest and respectable toward the military. Also, Mom, please stop telling people family secrets on Deadline.
I think the new moderators are deleting my posts because only an idiot would post as himself. Well, hello! That’s me.
And look Mom – so far no mean comments!
Look at these comments. Congratulations, Kevin! And remember, when you’re good to mama, mama’s good to you!
Why in the world would this person get his own show? Cougar Town is not a hit.
I’ll be sad if this takes him away from Cougar Town (my favorite show ever), BUT I met Kevin Biegel at a Cougar Town viewing party and have talked to him on twitter and he’s such a nice/funny guy so I can’t help but be happy for him too.
Congests Kevin. And thanks for being a part of Scrubs, my favorite sitcom of all time.
Um… none of this is funny. I hope the show is.
Kevin, Congrats man! You Sexy bastard!
What? No robots from the future??
With penalty? Dude, are you in jail again?
Kevin Biegel is funny. That is why his new show was sold to Fox. Simple. Congrats Kevin.
Dick, doesn’t mean he can’t be funny!
Well deserved. This guy is funny as hell, and he has impeccable taste in the fine art of video clip rummaging.
