Dierks Bentley is bringing Nashville back to the small screen. According to Variety, the country singer has signed on as executive producer of a single camera comedy show for Fox. Unlike that other show about Nashville, the currently untitled series will take a more lighthearted approach to the trials and tribulations of Music City residents, centering on singer-songwriters and set in a Nashville bar.

Variety describes the show's bar setting as "where singers and songwriters go to chase their dreams, or maybe just to fall in love if only for a night."
Variety reports that the series was developed by Jack Burditt, the creator and original show-runner of "Last Man Standing." Burditt has also worked on "Modern Family," "The Mindy Project," "The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" and more.
The comedy series has received a put pilot at FOX, which generally guarantees that the pilot will be picked up by the network.
The premiere date for the show's pilot has not yet been announced.
