In a move that signals a deep commitment to quality and long-term content development, CBS is setting its sights on a classic comedy with an exciting new pilot.

The broadcast network has officially greenlit Hilda! (In Lights!), a single-camera comedy from CBS Studios that had been in advanced development. This decision positions CBS as the first broadcast network to order a pilot for consideration in the upcoming 2027-28 television season.

The project brings an established vision to the screen, focusing on a style often associated with timeless and heartwarming storytelling. The show has been penned by Abbey Caldwell (Laid), bringing a unique sensibility to the narrative.

Hilda! (In Lights!) is being heralded as one of those shows that promises the charm and enduring appeal of classic television while offering something fresh for today’s audience. With its focus on comedy and character, it taps into a desire for genuinely engaging storytelling.
