From Variety:

Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme are headed back to NBC. Peacock has won an intense bidding war for the next TV show from The West Wing duo, an hourlong drama dubbed Studio 7 on the Sunset Strip that's set behind-the-scenes at a longrunning Los Angeles-based sketch comedy show. It's believed the net has made a rich 13-episode commitment to the Warner Bros. TV project.

Sorkin wrote the pilot script for the project before the pitching process began. That strategy helped build interest for the project among the webs and allowed WBTV to snag a premium commitment for it.

This show was rumored to be his next project right after he left West Wing over two years ago, so I'm glad to see it's finally making it to the screen, along with Charlie Wilson's War and The Farnsworth Invention.
