'Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist' star Jane Levy joins NBC pilot from Dan Goor

Jane Levy joins Jake Johnson and Keith David in NBC private detective comedy pilot from Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici

Jane Levy is returning to NBC. The "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist" star has joined the cast of the network's untitled single-camera comedy pilot from veteran producers Dan Goor and Luke Del Tredici.

Levy will star opposite Jake Johnson and Keith David in the half-hour workplace comedy set in the world of private detectives. The project is described as continuing "the proud tradition of Los Angeles private eyes that began with Philip Marlowe and will end with this show."

Akiva Schaffer, known for directing "The Naked Gun" reboot, has come aboard to direct and executive produce the pilot.

The series centers on Mickey Wilder, played by Johnson, a former LAPD cop turned private investigator. David portrays Garner Taggert, a tough guy with antiquated views who runs the Garner Taggart PI Agency. At the agency, his son Mitch and Mickey serve as the main investigators.

Levy will play Faye, described as smart, resourceful and a force of nature. Her character is a whip-smart investigative journalist who brings sharp instincts to the series.

The role marks a homecoming for Levy, who previously starred on NBC in "Zoey's Extraordinary Playlist." That series, which premiered in 2020 and ran for two seasons, featured Levy as Zoey Clarke, a woman who could hear people's innermost thoughts as songs. Her performance earned her a Golden Globe nomination for Best Actress in a Comedy Series.

The untitled pilot brings together an impressive creative team. Goor and Del Tredici are known for their work on acclaimed comedies, with Goor having co-created "Brooklyn Nine-Nine." Schaffer's involvement adds further comedy credentials as part of The Lonely Island trio.

Production on the pilot is expected to begin soon. Further casting details have not yet been announced.
