EXCLUSIVE: ABC has bought one of the first projects for the 2020-21 development cycle, and it falls right into the network’s sweet spot on the half-hour side — a family comedy with a unique twist.

The untitled single-camera comedy, from Kapital Entertainment and 20th Century Fox TV, is about two parents, Ted and Mandy, trying to navigate parenthood in L.A. raising a non-binary, gender-fluid child.
