Fox developing a romcom drama called Florida Man

TheWrap

Fox is using the name of the popular "Florida Man" meme for the title of a “quirky rom-com procedural” set in the Florida Panhandle. Written by Forgetting Sarah Marshall director Nick Stoller and former Bones executive producer Carla Kettner, Florida Man follows the “loquacious, eccentric” Bell Prescott, who “hasn’t left the rambling property on the Apachicola River that he shares with his mother” since personal tragedy struck him five years ago, according to the potential series' logline. "When Bell discovers a dead body, he’s forced to venture beyond his agoraphobic boundaries and grudgingly partner with the sole remaining cop in town, the practical, brutally direct Cammie Jessop, to solve the murder. With local infrastructure decimated, Bell grudgingly becomes the town’s volunteer criminologist, investigating murders with Cammie as he secretly tries to solve the crime that destroyed his life.”
