ABC Not ’Game’ for Hewitt Sitcom

LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - It’s game over for Jennifer Love Hewitt at ABC.

Alyson Hannigan has left this project days ago.

The network has opted not to go forward with "In the Game," a sitcom starring the former "Party of Five" actress.

The project centered on an up-and-coming sports producer who unwillingly becomes an on-camera reporter on a sports TV show.

It was initiated last development season, and then reworked this season with Christine Baranski and Sara Gilbert joining Hewitt and Ed O’Neill in the cast. After filming a new pilot, ABC decided to pull the plug.

In addition to Fox’s "Party of Five," Hewitt starred in the short-lived spinoff "Time of Your Life."
