With The Goldbergs on the path to a fifth season renewal, ABC is looking to capitalize on the sitcom’s success with a spinoff series, THR reveals:
From The Goldbergs producer Sony Pictures Television — where Goldberg is under an overall deal — the comedy landed at ABC with a script commitment and significant penalty attached. The spinoff is set in the 1990s and stars Bryan Callen. It centers on two high school teachers who become unlikely father figures to the school secretary’s three misfit kids. It is rumored to take place in Philadelphia, where The Goldbergs is set. Callen, who recurs as The Goldbergs’ no-nonsense high school gym teacher/coach Rick Mellor, is attached to star.
Will there be TWO Goldbergs’ series on the renew/cancel map next season? Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the status of The Goldbergs Season 5 and the planned spinoff series…
