Fox has picked up the pilot for the religious-comedy, Church of Reggie, which follows the title character who accidentally begins preaching about his life and winds up turning it into a religion.
The idea originally came from Ron Howard, an executive producer on Arrested Development, and pitched it to Tatham. He tells :
"(Ron) had an idea about a guy who comes up with a religion in his garage," Tatham said. "I've been toying with this idea of contemporary society's search for something to believe in, and the idea that sometimes less conventional avenues can provide what our souls are starved for."
Tatham and Howard will serve as executive producers for the show, which will be backed by Howard's Imagine TV for Fox.
