Series Regular – Paula Holt in New Comedy Pilot

NBC is launching a vibrant new single-camera comedy set in a Native community center in Oakland, California, from acclaimed showrunner Sierra Teller Ornelas and the creative forces behind “Rutherford Falls” and “Reservation Dogs.” This project celebrates authentic stories, sharp humor, and diverse Native representation in television.

NBC Shines a Light on Native Community and Representation
This comedy pilot focuses on the dedicated staff at a Native community center, juggling daily challenges while uplifting those around them. The series is led by industry trailblazers committed to bringing real voices and unique perspectives to the screen, making this a prime opportunity for Indigenous actors to shine.

Meet the Visionary Creative Team

• Sierra Teller Ornelas (Showrunner, Executive Producer): Groundbreaking creator of “Rutherford Falls,” with credits on “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” “Superstore,” and more.

• Jackie Keliiaa (Executive Producer, Writer): Celebrated stand-up comedian, writer, and voice actor, championing Native talent in comedy.

• Bobby Wilson (Executive Producer, Writer, Actor): Noted for “Reservation Dogs” and Marvel’s “Echo,” infusing comedy with cultural insight.

• Morgan Sackett (Executive Producer): Brings expertise from multiple acclaimed comedies.

Why This Project Stands Out
As the industry embraces more inclusive and diverse storytelling, NBC’s new pilot offers an exceptional opportunity for Indigenous actors and creatives to take center stage and shape authentic television narratives.
