LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - UPN is looking to spin off its hit comedy "Girlfriends" by ordering a "backdoor" pilot to air as an episode of the long-running series later this season.
The potential spin-off will feature an all-new group of characters, women in the lives of professional football players.
"Girlfriends," now in its sixth season, revolves around the lives and loves of four women, a restaurateur, a divorcee, a free-spirited vegan and a self-involved married woman. The show's creator, Mara Brock Akil, is set to write the spin-off episode and would executive produce the new series with "Girlfriends" executive producer Kelsey Grammer.
