BBC comedy Pulling is to be remade by US network ABC.

Bad Teacher writers Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky will adapt the Sharon Horgan series for a new pilot, Deadline reports.

The original Pulling - which follows three single women in their 30s - was co-created by Horgan, with the Irish actress and comedian also playing the lead role of Donna. It ran on BBC Three from 2006 to 2009.

Horgan and the UK version's co-creator Dennis Kelly will serve as executive producers on the remake, alongside Eisenberg and Stupnitsky.

ABC originally developed a US Pulling pilot in 2008, with Stacy Traub (Glee) attached as showrunner, but that first remake did not receive a series pick-up.

Eisenberg and Stupnitsky are developing a number of projects this television season, including Stephen Merchant's HBO comedy pilot Hello Ladies and sitcom Trophy Wife starring Watchmen's Malin Akerman.
