Joe Dinicol, Margo Harshman (Bent), Charlie Saxton (Bandslam) and Karan Soni (Safety Not Guaranteed) have been cast in Amazon Studios‘ comedy pilot Betas, produced by Michael London. Written by Evan Endicott and Josh Stoddard and directed by Michael Lehman, Betas is set in the world of Silicon Valley start-ups and centers on a quartet of under-socialized computer geeks who have designed a killer app that could transform the social lives of about 6 billion people for the better. Now all they have to do is get over their crippling personality flaws and sell their product. Dinicol plays the frontman of the quartet Trey, an aspiring dot-com maverick. Saxton, repped by CAA and Station 3, and Soni, repped by The Michael Zanuck Agency, 3 Arts and attorney Lev Ginsburg, play two other members of the quartet, junior coder Mitchell and the group’s tech brains Nash, respectively. Harshman, repped by APA and New Wave, plays the female lead Lisa Rudolph, a young, attractive, investment firm workaholic who realizes the app’s potential. She recurs on The Big Bang Theory. Alan R. Cohen and Alan Freedland serve as showrunners.

about time they gave Charlie Saxton a show.
Not enough bang for the buck. Remind’s me of some of Woody Allen’s film’s.
Charlie Saxton! I’m glad to seem him again – he’s great.
Always great to see Margo Harshman.
What a pathetic sounding project. Most of the “talent” are people notorious for failure, and the concept is vanilla and beyond bland. NOBODY will watch this.
Think you might be wrong about this one. It is a better sitcom pilot than some that turned out to be classics and I have been watching TV since the golden days of three channels in black and white.
MORE KARAN SONI IN THINGS, PLEASE.
BIG BANG ENTOURAGE!
Charlie Saxton is hilarious in Workaholics and Hung.
Haters step off, I think this could be really funny!
GAH! I love Charlie! He is HILARIOUS!!!
Charlie Saxton is the MAN! A natural character actor!
Charlie Saxton is incredible, so funny. What a cast, this will be picked up.
Never thought I’d see the Michael Zanuck Agency on Deadline. There you go naysayers.
Charlie Saxton will rise and shine in everything he does.
Way to go Charlie!
Saxton is the shit – can’t wait to see this!
