Rob Lowe to Lead Comedy Series THE RAM at ABC; Colin Cowherd & Peyton Manning Producing

Actor Rob Lowe (St. Elmo’s Fire, The West Wing, Parks and Recreation) has signed on to star in a new comedy series currently in development at ABC titled The Ram.

The show is said to be a “workplace romantic comedy in which Rob Lowe plays a daily sports talk show host who falls for the new producer brought in to boost his ratings,” per the official logline.

Betsy Thomas (My Boys, Mom), Bob Fisher (Wedding Crashers, We’re the Millers), and Rob Greenberg (How I Met Your Mother, Frasier) serve as writers and executive producers. Noted sports talk host Colin Cowherd will also executive produce along with Eric Tannebaum, Kim Tannenbaum, and Jason Wang of the Tannenbaum Co., as well as Peyton Manning, Jamie Horowitz, and Ben Brown via Omaha Productions. Lowe will executive produce in addition to starring.

In TV, Lowe most recently starred in the Fox drama 9-1-1: Lone Star for five seasons as well as the Netflix comedy Unstable. Lowe and his son, John Owen Lowe, were co-creators and stars of the latter series.
