Warner Brothers Studios will produce a pilot of the Israeli comedy format "Haverot" (Girlfriends) for US network CBS. The show's creators, Lital Schwartz, Yoav Gross (also the producer), Shay Ben-Atar, and Liat Shavit, will participate in part of the US production.
Greg Berlanti, whose credits include "Arrow" and "Brothers and Sisters", will head the US production.
"Haverot's" distributor Dori Media Group Ltd. signed the deal. It will offer the format at next week's MIP conference in France.
Channel 10 broadcast "Haverot" earlier this year to fairly strong ratings, compared with the station's current average - 13%. The primetime comedy is about a group of women dealing with married life and their first children. The show's second season is now in production.
