“ABC Orders Drama Pilot ‘Rabbit’ Based on Hit BBC Series ‘Ludwig’ From Megan Ganz & Humphre” — what this page in the network covers. ABC has greenlit its first drama pilot of the year with ‘Rabbit,’ an adaptation of the popular BBC One series ‘Ludwig.’ The project comes from co-writers and executive producers Megan Ganz and Humphrey Ker, with additional executive producers including Jon Steinberg, Dan Shotz, and Kenton Allen of Big Talk Productions. The original UK show, created by Mark Brotherhood, centers on a reclusive puzzle setter who assumes his twin brother’s identity as a detective to solve his disappearance.
The American version is expected to retain the quirky, puzzle-driven mystery format while tailoring the humor and characters for U.S. For ABC, this marks a strategic move into character-driven, high-concept procedurals with a comedic edge, a genre that has proven successful on broadcast. The full version stays on the original page, which this listing opens directly.
