Deep River Prods. has acquired Nina Colman's comedy pitch "A Semester Abroad" to develop for Sarah Michelle Gellar ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer"), reports Variety.
"Abroad" is a fish-out-of-water comedy that follows a tough girl from Queens on scholarship to a elite London university, where her no-nonsense demeanor puts her at odds with its stuffed-shirt denizens.
A May 2002 start for "A Semester Abroad" is the goal.
