MTV Orders Dark Comedy Pilot ‘Self Promotion,’ Zach Braff to Direct
THR:
MTV is ramping up its pilot slate.
The Viacom-owned cable network has handed out a pilot order to dark comedy Self Promotion, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
Self Promotion revolves around overworked assistant Katie Preston, who discovers that her dragon-lady boss is missing (or worse). Things get messy fast and, believing she will be the prime suspect, Katie covers up the crime scene, starts calling the shots in her boss' "absence" and goes full CSI to find out what actually happened to exonerate herself. Success at the office is hectic and maybe even dangerous in this dark, comedic twist on climbing the corporate ladder.
