'Veronica Mars' man gets pilot order

'Veronica Mars'

Veronica Mars creator Rob Thomas has been given a pilot order by ABC for a new comedy.

Cupid is a reworking of Thomas's short-lived 1998 series of the same name. The show's main character believes he has been sent to Earth by Zeus to match-make 100 couples.

Thomas is said to be prioritising Cupid over a spinoff of Beverly Hills, 90210 which he is developing for The CW, though he will still write the script for that.

Cupid is being produced by ABC Studios and Sony Pictures TV, which made the original.
