CBS First to Pilot for 2027–28 With Single-Camera Comedy 'Hilda! (In Lights!)'

CBS has ordered a pilot for 'Hilda! (In Lights!)', a single-camera comedy about a 70-year-old Nebraska woman chasing a Broadway dream, Deadline reported on 3 August 2026. A pilot — a test episode before a full-series decision — makes CBS the first broadcast network to reach that stage for the 2027–28 cycle. Abbey Caldwell writes; CBS Studios produces.
