Donal Logue is returning to Fox as the star of comedy pilot âHackett,â which is being directed by Barry Sonnenfeld.
Rachel Boston and Morgan Murphy also are cast in the single-camera project from Sony Pictures TV and 25C Productions, which centers on a bad-boy literary luminary (Logue) who escapes his disgraced career teaching at Yale only to find himself among the ultra-PC ranks of teachers at an Ohio public high school.
Boston will play the schoolâs principal. Murphy will play a teacher.
Logue, who most recently played the lead on ABCâs single-camera comedy âThe Knights of Prosperity,â starred on the family sitcom âGrounded for Life,â which aired on Fox for 2 1/2 seasons before moving to WB Network.
