NBC's newest series has been creating some buzz amongst series lovers. The unique storyline of Ordinary Joe has us fascinated and now we can't wait for more.
In Ordinary Joe, we follow the life of Joe Kimbreau (James Wolk), who is just your average everyday guy. Nothing really spectacular happens to him his entire life until he made a life-changing pivotal decision on his graduation from the university.
The development of the story has been a long one in the making. The series was originally written for the network ABC by executive producer Matt Reeves in 2006. Unfortunately, the series was not picked up and Ordinary Joe was left untouched.
Ten years after, the project was revived and was picked up by NBC. The executive producers continue to work on it for two years and, in January 2020, a pilot episode was ordered. Adam Davidson (Community, Lost) was then brought on board to become the director. The release date was, then, announced in March 2020 but, due to the pandemic, it was then pushed to 2021.
The massive interest the pilot episode of Ordinary Joe had garnered led it to be picked up by NBC. Now, it has become one of the up-and-coming series in television viewers should watch out for.
