Galecki is said to be working on the comedy alongside former Will & Grace executive producer John Quaintance. The series, titled AOK, is a half-hour, multi-camera project, and will be set at an “underdog Internet company in pre-AOL 1991.” The series will focus mainly on a group of young entrepreneurs who work together, hang out, and also deal with various romantic situations within their friend group as they try to advance in the early days of the Internet.
“This specific period of time is personal to many, including all of us involved so it’s important to make the show feel as authentic as possible,” Galecki said in a statement to Deadline. “We are excited to reimagine the 90’s sitcom through a modern lens as John has created something truly special. We hope to surprise people in a familiar place with characters you will fall in love with.”
