Uncle Buck Ordered to Series by ABC

Thanks to Mr Edmodo for the heads up.

The network on Friday handed out a series order to its African-American-led remake of Uncle Buck, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Based on John Hughes' 1989 movie, the comedy centers on Uncle Buck (Mike Epps) a fun-loving but irresponsible guy who needs a job and place to stay. By happy coincidence, his nieces and nephew’s nanny has just quit and his brother and sister-in-law need his help. His unconventional personality just may make him the right fit for the family and they may be the answer to his problems, too.

Nia Long, James Lesure, Iman Benson, Sayeed Shahidi and Aalyrah Caldwell round out the cast.
