CBS has greenlit a pilot for the single-camera comedy "Hilda! (In Lights!)," about a 70-year-old chasing a Broadway dream. The project, written by Abbey Caldwell, who worked on the series "Laid," comes from CBS Studios and had been in advanced development. With the order, CBS becomes the first broadcast network to pick up a pilot for the 2027-28 development season. The show is described as a classic-style comedy, though further plot details have not been released. The pilot order is part of CBS's long-term development strategy, giving the network an early start on programming for that season. Neither a cast nor a premiere date has been announced, and the project is still in the pilot stage, meaning it could go to series or be passed over.
