The prolific executive producer has teamed with Brad Garrett for an hourlong high school basketball series titled Big Shots. 

The dramedy has received a 10-episode, straight-to-series order at Disney+.

Big Shots follows a temperamental college basketball coach (Stamos) who gets fired from his job and must take a teaching and coaching job at an elite all-girls private high school. 

Kelley is penning the script alongside Dean Lorey. Bill D’Elia is set to direct the pilot.

Big Shots is Kelley’s second venture into the world of streaming. He famously exited his first streaming series, Amazon’s Goliath, after clashing with series star Billy Bob Thornton.

Disney+ is set to launch November 12.

The forthcoming limited TV series will reimagine King’s latest novel The Institute for the small screen. Snatching up the rights to the novel are David E. Kelley and Jack Bender, who will develop the story for Spyglass Media Group.

Bender will direct the series, while both he and Kelley will executive produce.

“Having the opportunity to work on a new and brilliant book by Stephen King is an absolute privilege,” said Spyglass’ Lauren Whitney. “We are thrilled to collaborate with this dream team, including the incomparable David E. Kelley, and Jack Bender, the architect behind this project, whose extensive directing and executive producing credits speak for themselves. After such a competitive pursuit, we have big plans for The Institute here at Spyglass.”

The Institute hit shelves Tuesday.

Initially billed as a limited series, but picked up for a second season in December 2018, it looks like Season 2 of HBO’s acclaimed drama will be its last.

Here’s what we learned from the show’s Television Critics Association press tour Friday — while nothing is set in stone, creator and executive producer David E. Kelley did say that “There’s no such plan now,” for additional seasons. He continued: “It’s one and two, and we like our closure with season two, but that will probably be it.” 

Nicole Kidman, star and executive producer added, “There’s no plan for it to end, specifically. This was a long shoot for us, and it was an enormous amount of work…  it is [Season 3] its own entity and hopefully it will be taken that way. It was definitely made with an enormous amount of love.” 

Big Little Lies Season is based on a novel by Liane Moriarty. The series won eight Emmys for its first season including Outstanding Limited Series. The series stars Zoë Kravitz, Laura Dern, Reese Witherspoon, Shailene Woodley and Kidman.

Big Little Lies is set to return in June.
