As is common practice, Universal Television, which produced the pilot, will shop it to other networks while it still has the actors under deals.
At That Age, an exploration of an African-American family’s legacy, was ordered to pilot in January 2020, but put on hold due to the coronavirus-related production shutdown. It restarted casting this past spring and was produced off-cycle like all of NBC’s pilots over the last Covid-impacted year. The network also has drama pilot Dangerous Moms, which is in production.
Written by Carla Banks-Waddles, in At That Age, After the Cooper family’s golden child suffers a catastrophic event, seven family members (Holmes, Parker, James, Eschete, Walls, Corinealdi and Keyes) face a foundational shift, make life-altering decisions and deal with deep secrets coming to light.
Banks-Waddles executive produces with Lee and Debra Martin Chase.
