Undateable is an upcoming American comedy television series. It is expected to air midseason on NBC as part of the 2013–14 American television season and is slated to premiere on May 29, 2014.[1][2] The multi-camera comedy was created by Adam Sztykiel and is based on the book Undateable: 311 Things Guys Do That Guarantee They Won't Be Dating Or Having Sex by Ellen Rakieten and Anne Coyle.[3][4][5]

Premise

When Danny agrees to let Justin move in with him, he doesn't realize that he will inherit Justin's friends in the deal. Danny nicknames the romantically challenged group "The Undateables" and, believing he is the ultimate player, sets out to teach them all he knows about "the game of love".

Cast

Development and production

NBC purchased the script from Bill Lawrence in October 2012.[5][7] Casting for the pilot began in early 2013, with Brent Morin and Rick Glassman being cast in February and Biana Kailich and Chris D'Ella being cast in March.[8][9][10][11] Matthew Kilkas has also cast in March as Brett, Justin's gay friend.[12] Aly Michalka was originally cast as Maddie, a waitress in Justin's bar and Justin's love interest, but she left the show in April 2013 and was replaced with Briga Heelan in a guest star role as the similar character Nicki.[13][14]

In May 2013, NBC placed a series order for Undateable.[15] After the series was ordered, Matthew Wilkas left and was replaced with David Fynn in the role of Brett.[16] When both Undatable and Ground Floor, which stars Heelan, were picked up as series, Megan Park was cast to replace Heelan in the Nicki role.[17] However, by September of that year, the producers were able to arrange the schedules of the two shows so that Heelan could appear on Undateable as Nicki on a recurring basis, and she replaced Park.[18]

In March 2014, Lawrence, Morin, Glassman, Funches, and D’Elia launched an 8-city comedy tour to promote the show.[19]
