Fox has put in development Foxy, a single-camera comedy from writer-producers Jennifer Crittenden & Gabrielle Allan (Veep, Divorce), Elizabeth Banks and Max Handelman’s Brownstone Productions and Warner Bros. Television, where Brownstone is under a deal. The project is a co-production of Warner Bros. TV and Fox Entertainment.

Written by Crittenden and Allan, Foxy is a comedy about two single women living together in Southern California in the swinging seventies: Diane, a newly divorced mom of two daughters, who is realizing she was fed a lot of bulls*t about happily ever afters, and Melanie, a promiscuous free spirit and enthusiastic early adopter of the birth control pill.
