Bans and Krebs serve as writers and executive producers on the pilot. Bans will executive produce under her Minnesota Logging Company banner along with Casey Kyber. Universal Television, where both Bans and Krebs are under overall deals, will produce.
“Grosse Pointe Garden Society” was originally put into development at NBC back in 2022, while the network opened a writers’ room for the series in 2023.
Bans is best known for creating the NBC series “Good Girls,” starring Christina Hendricks, Retta, and Mae Whitman. The show aired for four seasons at the broadcaster. Bans’ other credits include creating the ABC series “The Family” and for working on shows like “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Scandal,” “Desperate Housewives,” and “Private Practice.”
She is repped by UTA and Yorn Levine Barnes.
Krebs first collaborated with Bans on “The Family” before also joining her on “Good Girls.” He has also written for shows like “Workaholics,” “Franklin & Bash,” “Ugly Americans,” and “No Tomorrow.”
He is repped by UTA, Entertainment 360, and Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz.
This is the second pilot Bans and Krebs have set up at NBC in the past year. The duo previously set up the drama “Murder by the Book” starring “Good Girls” alum Retta, though that project ultimately did not go forward.
