While the chilly news from Sundance begins to melt away, news about the new comedy spec SENIOR YEAR continues to heat up. The spec is out from Jake Wagner at Benderspink and Greg Pedicin at Gersh and written by Andrew Knauer and Arthur Pielli (Ghost Team One). Senior Year centers on a cheerleader who falls into a coma during a floor routine, and wakes some 20-years later still the teen girl she was – and eager to reclaim her spot as prom queen and popular kid.
