Give Allison Hord all the badges and cookies — the “Late Night With Seth Meyers” writer has a feminist girl scout comedy in development at NBC. Deadline confirmed the news. Penned and exec produced by the Funny or Die alumna, “Woman Scouts” “centers on a feminist who, after dropping out of grad school, pledges to kickstart the lives of a group of women by becoming an adult Girl Scout troop. There’s no limit to what life achievement badge they can conquer together, if they can just figure out the whole sisterhood thing first,” the source summarizes.
Currently a staff writer on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” Hord has acted in, directed, and produced many Funny or Die projects. She’s a two-time Emmy nominee thanks to her work on “Late Night.”
Other female-led projects in the works at NBC include mother-daughter FBI drama “Strong Justice,” an untitled drama about a former WNBA coach and star, and Archie Panjabi-starrer “Adversaries.”
