After a bidding war, Fox has handed out a put pilot commitment to Connected, a single-camera family comedy from from American Dad! executive producer Nahnatchka Khan and documentary filmmaker R.J. Cutler. Khan will write and executive produce the project, an edgy family comedy about two families linked by their teens’ romantic relationship. She will executive produce with Cutler and Mosaic's Ann Blanchard. Connected is produced by 20th Century Fox TV where Khan is under an overall deal.
Khan, who has been on Dad! since the beginning, has both live-action and animation background. She got her start in kids animated series at Walt Disney TV Animation after graduating from USC's film school. She worked her way into primetime with gigs on such series as Fox's Malcolm in the Middle, WB's What I Like About You and NBC's Good Morning, Miami. This represents Cutler's first major foray into scripted TV. In February, the documentarian and reality producer inked a first-look deal with 20th TV's corporate sibling Fox TV Studios with a focus on scripted development.
