Steve Carell is a versatile actor, but he's also into producing. Case in point, his upcoming comedy pilot, which has sold to a cable network known for its comedy leanings.

Tribeca, a comedy pilot written and produced by Carell and his wife Nancy, has been picked up by TBS. The half-hour, single-camera series is described as "a satirical look at a police procedural anchored by Angie Tribeca, a 10-year veteran of the LAPD’S elite RHCU (Really Heinous Crimes Unit)." Angie's work life is populated with "an eccentric but brilliant group of detectives who reveal way too much personal information, and refuse to rest until justice has been served (or not)."

Carell is not expected to appear onscreen except for, perhaps, an occasional guest starring role. However, the actor will be behind the camera, as he will direct the series pilot.
