“NBC has [greenlit] its fifth drama this cycle, ‘Ordinary Joe’ from ‘House’ veterans Russel Friend and Garrett Lerner” and ‘Felicity’ co-creator Matt Reeves,” reports Nellie Andreeva for Deadline.
“‘Ordinary Joe,’ which draws parallels to NBC/20th TV’s hit drama ‘This Is Us’ with its parallel storylines, was set up at NBC in November 2018, receiving a put pilot commitment,” Andreeva explains. “Because of the late timing of the sale, a script could not be completed in time for the 2019 pilot season, and the project was rolled to the 2019-20 cycle.” Disney’s 20th TV is also involved in “Ordinary Joe.”

Indeed, she did write “has greenlight,” and now I’m very sad.
Thanks, Jon. We missed that typo. We’ve now corrected it in our story…
