The project comes from Universal Television and will be written and co-exec produced by Pierre-Outlar, who first started the project, then known as Rhonda Mitchell M.D, as a web series, and Wood, who also exec produces.
The project focuses on an overbearing doctor after she takes over her father’s Harlem-based practice and struggles to balance her personal and professional life while managing an irreverent group of patients and co-workers.

The comedian also recently exec produced documentary The Neutral Ground, which premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival and tells the story of four Confederate monuments in New Orleans that no one would remove.
He will next be seen alongside Jon Hamm in the upcoming film Confess, Fletch, currently in production.
Wood is repped by Mainstay Entertainment, WME, and Del Shaw Moonves and Pierre-Outlar is repped by Crystalship Artists.
