Tony Award nominee Josh Gad will be joined by Broadway stars Andre Holland and Bill Pullman and Brittany Snow in the comedy pilot 1600 Penn, according reports.


The series, which Gad will executive produce with former President Obama speechwriter Jon Lovett and Modern Family director Jason Winer, will feature the two stars as siblings — and children of the President of the United States, to be played by Pullman. Holland will play the presidential press secretary.

Gad received a Tony nomination for his starring role as Elder Cunningham in The Book of Mormon, and has previously appeared on Broadway in The 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee. His film and television credits include The Daily Show, Back to You, Woke Up Dead, and Love and Other Drugs.


Holland’s stage credits include Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, The Whipping Man, Blue Door, and All’s Well That Ends Well.


Pullman is currently starring in the Geffen Playhouse’s production of The Jacksonian. His Broadway credits include Oleanna and The Goat, or Who Is Sylvia?.


Snow co-starred in the film version of Hairspray and is best known for her work on the series Harry’s Law and American Dreams.
