'The Big Bang Theory' writers work on new sitcom 'Hotel Sofia'

The Big Bang Theory writers reunite with Susan Rovner for NBC’s Hotel Sofia, a Greek-set comedy about an expat hotel owner.

"Hotel Sofia will be a multi-camera sitcom that follows the female hotel owner, who dispenses wisdom as she works to rebuild her own life. – Deadline"

Washington DC, July 31

A sitcom titled 'Hotel Sofia' is currently in the development stage by NBC, which is being created by Maria Ferrari and Andy Gordon, the writers of 'The Big Bang Theory', reported Deadline.

According to the outlet, Hotel Sofia will be a multi-camera sitcom that follows the female hotel owner, who dispenses wisdom as she works to rebuild her own life. Susan Rovner is executive producing under her Aha Studios banner.

The basic premise of the sitcom features an expatriate who runs a hotel full of American foreign exchange students in Greece. The makers have not revealed the details of the cast yet.

The project marks a reunion of sorts for the three TV veterans. Ferrari and Gordon were writers on The Big Bang Theory at Warner Bros. TV, where Rovner once served as president.

Ferrari's other credits include co-creating and co-running 'The United States of Al' and writing for 'Young Sheldon' and 'Call Me Kat'.

According to Deadline, Gordon spent the bulk of his career at NBC as writer and producer for 'Mad About You', 'NewsRadio', 'Just Shoot Me!' and 'DAG', which he co-created.

He went on to create 'True Jackson', VP for Nickelodeon and worked on 'Last Man Standing' and 'Modern Family' for ABC, reported Deadline.

According to the outlet, this is Rovner's most recent sale for Aha Studios, which she launched last year. She's already behind a number of high-profile projects, including 'Barneys New York', a one-hour drama at MGM Amazon, and the CBS cooking series 'America's Culinary Cup' starring and executive produced by Padma Lakshmi.

The fans are eagerly waiting for new updates on the sitcom, which is likely to start production soon.

Not sure about another American sitcom. We have such rich stories in India - why can't our writers create something original instead of always looking West? The premise sounds like it could be set in Goa with Indian characters!

The Greece setting sounds interesting! Hope they include some authentic cultural elements rather than stereotypes. As someone who studied abroad, I can relate to the expat experience. Fingers crossed for good representation! ✨

Multi-camera sitcoms feel outdated now. Wish they'd try single-camera format like Modern Family. Still, the writer's pedigree gives me hope. Big Bang Theory had brilliant writing despite the laugh track.

As an American living in Mumbai, I'm curious how this will play in India. The cultural exchange angle could be great if done right. Hope they cast some Indian actors among the exchange students - would make it more relatable here!

After The Big Bang Theory ended, there's been a void in light-hearted comedy shows. Hope this fills that gap. Though I wonder if the humor will translate well for Indian audiences - some jokes in American shows don't land here.
