“Joey” star Matt LeBlanc and “Everwood” creator Greg Berlanti are teaming up for a pilot at The WB.
The two are among the executive producers of “The Prince,” a drama project that’s received the green light from the Frog, the Hollywood trade papers report.
The show is a family drama set in the upper echelons of New York society, revolving around the relationship between a father and son following the death of the kid’s older brother. Jesse Wigutow (“It Runs in the Family”) wrote the pilot script and will receive a co-exec producer credit.
The pilot is one of LeBlanc’s first forays into producing via his production company, Fort Hill Productions. The Warner Bros.-based company is also developing a comedy project that will star Dennis Hopper.
On “The Prince,” LeBlanc and John Goldstone will serve as executive producers along with Berlanti and Mickey Liddell, who serve the same capacity on The WB’s “Everwood” and “Jack & Bobby.”
