Gabriel Mann is composing the original score for two new CBS comedies, including The Unicorn created by Bill Martin & Mike Schiff (3rd Rock from the Sun) and starring Walton Goggins, Rob Corddry, Michaela Watkins, Omar Miller, Maya Lynne Robinson, Ruby Jay, Makenzie Moss and Devin Bright. The show follows a tight-knit group of best friends and family who help the series’ lead character embrace his “”new normal”” after the loss of his wife a year earlier. Martin & Schiff are also executive producing the CBS Television production with Kapital Entertainment’s Aaron Kaplan (Life in Pieces, Santa Clarita Diet) & Dana Honor & Wendi Trilling (The Neighborhood) and Peyton Reed (Ant-Man, Bring It On). John Hamburg (I Love You, Man) directed the pilot episode. The Unicorn will premiere on September 26, 2019 on CBS. Visit the official show website for updates.
Mann is also scoring the CBS comedy Carol’s Second Act created by Emily Halpern & Sarah Haskins (Booksmart) and starring Patricia Heaton, Ito Aghayere, Jean-Luc Bilodeau, Sabrina Jalees, Kyle MacLachlan and Ashley Tisdale.
