According to TVLine.com, the ABC network has ordered a half-hour comedy pilot from singer and actress Mandy Moore.
The project is currently untitled but will tell the story of a newly married couple Annie (Moore) and Ben, who open a "hip, new restaurant in Annie's hometown next to her needy and high maintainance family."
Shawn Levy of 'Date Night' is currently set to executive produce and direct the project. The script was written by Bob Fisher (Traffic Light) and Stacy Taub (Notes From the Underbelly)
Moore became famous as a teenager in the late 1990s, after the release of her teen-oriented pop albums 'So Real, I Wanna Be with You', and 'Mandy Moore'. Moore subsequently branched out into film, starring in 2002's A Walk to Remember and later in other movies, such as Chasing Liberty, also aimed at teenage audiences.
Two of Moore's later films, American Dreamz and Saved!, were satires. Most recently Moore provided the voice of Rapunzel in Disney's newest animated film, Tangled. Her most recent album, Amanda Leigh, was released on May 26, 2009. Moore has sold more than 10 million records worldwide.
