Sony TV orders 'Breaking Upwards' pilot

Sony TV has ordered a new half-hour television comedy based on 2009 movie Breaking Upwards.

Deadline reports that an adaptation of the independent film is currently in development. The movie's co-writers and stars Daryl Wein and Zoe-Lister Jones are said to be working with producer Aaron Kaplan on the project.

The original film focused on a young couple exploring an alternative to monogamy as they spend four days a week together and three more as single people.

Kaplan will executive produce the pilot through his company Kapital Entertainment, alongside director Wein and Lister-Jones.

The pair also recently sold a pitch for new comedy film Motherf**ker to Fox Searchlight.
