EXCLUSIVE: ABC has handed a put pilot commitment to Valley Trash, a single-camera family comedy from Speechless writer-producer Niki Schwartz-Wright, Fresh off the Boat creator/executive producer Nahnatchka Khan and Universal TV, where Khan and her Fierce Baby Productions are under an overall deal.

Written by Schwartz-Wright, in Valley Trash, when 14-year-old Abby gets accepted to a prestigious private L.A. high school, neither she nor her hard-working, financially strapped parents are prepared for the culture shock they’re about to experience when Abby is thrust into a world occupied by a bunch of brilliant, snobby, rich kids who want nothing to do with her, her family or their 818 area code.
