Bradley Whitford Going Off Duty For NBC

Bradley Whitford is returning to NBC for the single-camera comedy pilot Off Duty. Romany Malco has joined as the second lead in the buddy comedy, which has been greenlighted for production following a cast-contingent pilot order in July. The show is written by Upright Citizens Brigade comedian Jason Mantzoukas.

Off Duty centers on a once-legendary police detective (Whitford) on his way down who complicates the life of his new partner (Malco) – a straight shooter on his way up – both on duty and off.
