In Development

After mining mother-daughter relationships to great success in Gilmore Girls but finding less luck with sisterly bonds in The Return of Jezebel James, writer Amy Sherman-Palladino is combining both themes for her new HBO pilot. THR says it will feature three writer sisters who live in the same building, "and their mother, a domineering literary lioness who reserves most of her affections for their ne'er-do-well brother." I suspect it will also feature Sherman-Palladino's signature rapid-fire patter, this time with swears. [THR]
