Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, the duo who wrote The Hangover, are writing a show for ABC called Mixology. According to Deadline, the show will "[follow] five guys and five girls trying to find love at a trendy Manhattan bar across the course of one night." It's unclear if that's the plot of the pilot or of the whole show. (Will each episode just feature drunker and drunker characters?)
Casting has already begun, and the Hollywood Reporter notes that several main roles already cast. There are a whole bunch of videos on Vimeo that appear to be audition tapes (the dialog referencse characters THR confirms are part of the show), but none of those actors have been confirmed as cast members yet. Go poke around if you want to get a sample of the writing. Joked Lucas to Deadline, "We couldn't be more excited to now bring our trademark brand of lame dialogue, thin characters, and gimmicky concepts to television." Stay tuned.
