  "account": "ABC has ordered a pilot for the drama series \"Rabbit,\" based on the British hit \"Ludwig,\" with Megan Ganz and Humphrey Ker set to write and executive produce. The husband and wife team, who previously teamed up on the Apple TV comedy \"Mythic Quest,\" will bring their unique talents to this new project. Ganz, through her overall deal at 20th, will be a part of this venture. The drama follows Mark, a solitary puzzle writer known as Rabbit, who is thrust into the Cambridge, Mass. police department after his homicide detective twin brother goes missing. Mark assumes his brother's identity to investigate his disappearance, discovering that his puzzling abilities are a significant asset in solving the case. Humphrey Ker, known for his acting roles in \"Curb Your Enthusiasm\" and \"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,\" as well as writing for \"SNL UK,\" will work alongside Ganz in this new venture. Ganz's writing credits include several comedy series, such as \"It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia,\" \"The Last Man on Earth,\" \"Modern Family,\" and \"Community.\" The drama is set to be executive produced by Jon Steinberg, Dan Shotz, Mark Brotherhood, and David Mitchell, with Kenton Allen stepping in for Big Talk. \"Ludwig\" became the BBC's biggest new scripted show of 2024, amassing 13.1 million views during its first episode. The British series, starring David Mitchell and Anna Maxwell Martin, is currently in production for its third season, with Season 2 premiering in the UK in August and the U.S. premiere on Oct. 13 on BritBox.",
