ABC Studios’ “Piggy” is about two adult siblings (Jeff Davis, Creskoff) who move in with their eldest brother (Kevin Rahm).
The Renfroe comedy, from Sony/Tantamount, is a parenting show about a couple (Renfroe, Ryan Stiles) raising their kids.
Breslin will play the oldest son, who works at Krispy Kreme.
In other pilot castings, Thomas Calabro has closed his deal to appear on the CW’s “Melrose Place” as a recurring, reprising his role as Dr. Michael Mancini from the original series. He is repped by Stone Manners. (partialdiff)
