The project, <em>Vital Signs</em>, which hails from creator/executive producer Brian Tanen (<em>Love, Victor, Grand Hotel</em>), attracted multiple offers before finally landing at ABC.<script async id="AV666ff1acd2232035fc009ecd" type="text/javascript" src="https://tg1.ad-adapex.io/api/adserver/spt?AV_TAGID=666ff1acd2232035fc009ecd&AV_PUBLISHERID=61236c658d8f39735560c155"></script><div data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/22181265/mxdwn_mob_300v_1"></div> <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto ">Written by Tanen, <em>Vital Signs</em> is described as a reinvention of <em>Grey’s</em> that asks: What if your favorite TV escape became your reality? <p>The series heroine, Emmy Correll, is in a depressive rut. She wishes her dull, disappointing life was more like her favorite medical drama, <em>Vital Signs, </em>where the characters are life-saving heroes with endlessly exciting love lives. But when Emmy’s wish comes true, and she is transported <em>into</em> the show, she must confront whether this new life is what she truly wants.<div style="max-width:650px;overflow:hidden;"><div style="float:left;margin-right:5px;"><div data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/22181265/mxdwn_300s_1"></div></div><div style="float:right;margin-left:5px;"><div data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/22181265/mxdwn_300s_2"></div></div></div><div data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/22181265/mxdwn_mob_300v_2"></div> <p>Waking up in a TV show is beyond disorienting. Especially because, in this world, Emmy is apparently a newly hired doctor. But once she gets over the shock, she realizes she’s seen every episode and knows what’s going to happen. And that means here, in this world, she’s kind of a genius. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto ">Tanen will executive produce the series alongside Kapital Entertainment’s Aaron Kaplan (<em>The Neighborhood, The Chi</em>). Dylan Hammalian (<em>A Million Little Things, American Housewife</em>) oversees for Kapital.<div style="max-width:650px;overflow:hidden;"><div style="float:left;margin-right:5px;"><div data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/22181265/mxdwn_300s_3"></div></div><div style="float:right;margin-left:5px;"><div data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/22181265/mxdwn_300s_4"></div></div></div> <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto "><em>Vital Signs</em> extends Tanen’s long relationship with ABC/Disney. Early on, he worked on such series as ABC’s <em>Ugly Betty</em> and <em>Desperate Housewives</em> and Lifetime’s <em>Devious Maids, </em>all produced by ABC Studios. He went on to develop and executive produce the ABC Studios drama <em>Grand Hotel, </em>based on the Spanish series <em>Gran Hotel.</em> He also served as co-showrunner/executive producer on <em>Love, Victor</em> for the Hulu/20th Television series’ three-season run. ABC Studios was subsequently rebranded as ABC Signature and was recently folded into Disney TV Studios sibling 20th, Television. <p class="paragraph larva // lrv-u-margin-lr-auto ">Tanen is represented by UTA and attorneys Bryan Swatt and Ken Richman.<div align="center" style="margin-bottom: 15px;"><script async src="https://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/js/adsbygoogle.js?client=ca-pub-3181558136980192" crossorigin="anonymous"></script><ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:block" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3181558136980192" data-ad-slot="1467187736" data-ad-format="auto" data-full-width-responsive="true"></ins><script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});</script></div><div data-aaad="true" data-aa-adunit="/22181265/mxdwn_mob_300v_2"></div>  <aside class="tags"> <ul class="clearfix"> <li><span>Tags</span></li> <li><a href="https://television.mxdwn.com/tag/aaron-kaplan/">Aaron Kaplan</a></li> <li><a href="https://television.mxdwn.com/tag/abc/">ABC</a></li> <li><a href="https://television.mxdwn.com/tag/abc-studios/">ABC Studios</a></li> <li><a href="https://television.mxdwn.com/tag/brian-tanen/">Brian Tanen</a></li> <li><a href="https://television.mxdwn.com/tag/dylan-hammalian/">Dylan Hammalian</a></li> <li><a href="https://television.mxdwn.com/tag/greys-anatomy/">grey's anatomy</a></li> <li><a href="https://television.mxdwn.com/tag/kapital-entertainment/">Kapital Entertainment</a></li> <li><a href="https://television.mxdwn.com/tag/vital-signs/">Vital Signs</a></li> </ul> </aside>   <footer> <div class="share-bucket"> <div style="float: left;
