If you’ve been missing Cameron and Donna since “Halt and Catch Fire” concluded its four-season run in October, we’ve got some good news for you. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Freeform has given a pilot order to “Girl Code,” a new series about female coders from “Bridesmaids” director Paul Feig and “GLOW” scribe Kim Rosenstock.
Described as “an odd-couple partnership between a brazen, self-centered tech CEO and a community-building social entrepreneur who must overcome their many issues with each other in order to co-run a groundbreaking, all-female tech incubator,” the project was brought to Feig and Rosenstock by Anonymous Content’s Joy Gorman Wettels. Feig is signed on to direct and Rosenstock is penning the script.
The workplace comedy is “inspired by female coders, robotic scientists, and social entrepreneurs.”
Feig created the short-lived but beloved series “Freaks and Geeks.” The four-time Emmy nominee has directed eps of series including “The Office,” “Nurse Jackie,” and “Parks and Recreation.” “Ghostbusters,” “Spy,” and “The Heat” are among his big screen credits. Feig has revealed that studio execs have advised him to do fewer female-led projects, but thankfully he ignored that ridiculous, sexist feedback.
Rosenstock previously worked on “New Girl” and is currently collaborating with Cyndi Lauper on the book for a musical stage adaptation of “Working Girl,” the 1988 romantic comedy starring Melanie Griffith, Sigourney Weaver, and Harrison Ford.
