Ben Silverman is returning to scripted television via the same route that made him an independent producer. ABC is finalizing a deal for a single-camera comedy based on the popular Spanish series
"Aquí no hay quien viva,"loosely translated as "I Hate This Place." Silverman will executive produce with Sofia Vergara, star of the network's Emmy-winning family comedy "Modern Family." Craig
Doyle has been tapped to write the adaptation, which marks the first broadcast scripted project for Silverman's IAC-based company Electus.
"I Hate This Place" is a multicultural and
multigenerational comedy in the tone of "Modern Family" and set in an apartment building. It follows the lives of an old school father and his corner-cutting son who must work together to manage the
eccentric tenants of the building that has been in their family for generations.
