DREAM TEAM (ABC)
DEVELOPMENT HISTORY:
8/24/15 - 3/23/16
STATUS:
previously in development (2016-2017 season)
DEVELOPMENT STAGE:
ordered to pilot
DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release, March 2016) Kari Lizer and Bill Wrubel (Will & Grace) bring us Dream Team, based on their experiences as soccer parents. With documentary-style elements, Dream Team centers on club soccer coach Marty Shumacher (Justin Long), a diverse group of girls and their demanding parents. Marty took his last team to the national championships... where they lost in their final game. His misfortune doesn't end there, as his wife recently left him, taking all of the furniture with her. With no team and no wife, Marty decides to get back into the game. He loves being a coach and brings a unique passion and dedication to his team. As the girls train and compete to make the team, their parents are fighting a competition of their own, against other parents, their own spouses and the demands that club soccer makes on their family. While Marty begins coaching the girls into a cohesive team, he must overcome his self-doubt when his ex-wife questions his career path as respectable for a grown man, and then takes his last remaining piece of furniture. After the first game, Marty has to cut someone from the team, the first of many difficult decisions he'll have to make as he guides these girls and their parents through the next ten years of their lives.
