ABC is looking to expand Fresh Off the Boat into a franchise: A spinoff of the long-running comedy is in early development at the network, per The Hollywood Reporter.
The offshoot — written by FOTB supervising producer Rachna Fruchbom — would feature a new cast and central family rather than spinning off a current character from the show. No other plot details are available.
Fruchbom will executive-produce alongside series EP Melvin Mar.
