The Hollywood Reporter, ABC has officially ordered a pilot for a Lee Daniels-produced take on
The Wonder Years.
The project joins two others -- an untitled multicamera comedy written by Regina Hicks and executive produced by Viola Davis and Larry Wilmore, as well as the single-cam comedy
Maggie, which is based on the Tim Curcio short film of the same name -- as potential series pick-ups.
Airing for six seasons, from 1988 to 1993, the original
Wonder Years was created by Neal Marlens and Carol Black and told the story of the Arnold family -- a White, middle-class clan living in the suburbs -- as it navigated the turbulent times of the late 1960s and early '70s. The show starred Fred Savage as Kevin Arnold, the family's teenage son, as well as Danica McKellar and Josh Saviano as his friends, Winnie Cooper and Paul Pfeiffer.
