*James Lesure is set to co-star opposite Mike Epps in “Uncle Buck,” ABC’s single-camera comedy pilot based on the classic John Hughes film starring John Candy.
Like the movie, the series adaptation, written by Steven Cragg and Brian Bradley, centers on Buck Russell (Epps), a childish man who learns how to be an adult by taking care of the kids of his younger yet more accomplished brother Will (Lesure) in a very childish way.
Nia Long plays Will’s wife in the project from Universal TV and Will Packer Prods.
