ABC is developing a single-camera comedy inspired by the life of Alanis Morissette.
Titled “Relatable,” the project hails from co-creators Elizabeth Beckwith and Christopher Moynihan, with Beckwith writing the pilot. Moynihan will serve as showrunner, with both also executive producing. Morissette will executive produce and also pen original music for the show.
Willie Mercer and Ron West will serve as executive producers for Thruline, and Jonathan Daniel will serve as executive producer for Crush Music. 20th Television will produce.
Morissette is perhaps best known for her 1995 album “Jagged Little Pill,” which has sold over 30 million copies and inspired the Broadway musical of the same name. Since then, she has released nine more albums and contributed music to numerous productions while also appearing onscreen in several projects. In August 2021 she kicked off her world tour celebrating 25 years of “Jagged Little Pill.”
Beckwith is currently a supervising producer on the hit ABC comedy “The Goldbergs.” She also wrote for the ABC comedy “Speechless” and has penned pilots for USA Network, Fox, Sony, and Fox21. She is the author of the comedic parenting book “Raising The Perfect Child Through Guilt and Manipulation.”
