A new Disney+ Original series called “Big Shot” is currently in development by ABC Studios.  The series will consist of 10 1 hour episodes and will see John Stamos star as the temperamental college basketball coach, who gets fired from his job and must take a teaching and coaching job at an elite all-girls private high school.

The series has been written and executive produced by David E. Kelley and Dean Lorey.  Single Parents/Everyone Loves Raymond star Brad Garrett, is also an executive producer on the show, as he pitched the original idea to David E. Kelley.

Bill D’Elia will direct the first episode and will also act as an executive producer on the series.  The series will begin shooting in November in Los Angeles.

Agnes Chu, SVP, Content, Disney+ said:

“John is absolutely perfect for this role and we are thrilled that he’ll bring his incredible talent and heart to this project. Disney has long been known for our aspirational sports stories, and we are so proud to be working with David and Dean on a relatable series that both inspires and entertains. It’s a great fit for Disney+.”
