New Comedy Pilots
This is a list of new comedy pilots that have been announced by production companies (or well-known comedy writers). These projects are listed here because we either don't yet know whether the project will make it to the broadcast stage (most pilots are never seen), or because we don't yet have enough details to create a full guide to the show. Pilots that are definitely going to be broadcast can be found on our new comedy list.
