Written with Peep Show's producer

Peep Show producer Hannah Mackay and British comic Ed Weeks have sold a script to America's ABC network.

The broadcaster has brought Wing Person, a half-hour comedy about a lesbian lothario and her more cautious straight male best friend, Hollywood website Deadline reports.

It is the latest boost to Weeks's American career. He plays Dr. Jeremy Reed on The Mindy Project and has just appeared in HBO's Project Greenlight, a documentary series about first-time filmmakers being given the chance to direct a feature film, produced by Ben Affleck, Matt Damon and others.

On that show he was reunited with his former sketch partner in Tommy And The Weeks, Tom Bell, as the stars of the movie, The Leisure Class. They played brothers in a wealthy family, one straight-laced and one reckless .

Weeks is also set to guest star on Showtime’s House Of Lies as an auction-house boss.

Before Peep Show, Mackay script edited two series of Toast of London and three series of Fresh Meat.
