“Dorothy Gale” comes from “Friday Night Lights” scribe Bridget Carpenter, who’s exec producing; Katims will serve as a nonwriting exec producer with Meryl Poster.
Script follows the story of Dorothy, a girl from Kansas who tries to tackle modern-day Manhattan (her version of the Emerald City). Dorothy finds a job in the art world -- and must deal with a wicked boss.
Carpenter’s credits also include “Bionic Woman,” “Dead Like Me” and “Head Cases.”
