Production of Roy Wood Jr.’s sitcom pilot, which is being filmed in Birmingham, will begin in May, according to the Hollywood Reporter.

The show, “Jefferson County: Probation” features Wood as a parole officer “willing to bend the rules to help the parolees on his watch, much to the chagrin of his partner and everyone else in his life.” The sitcom is co-written by Wood and The Boondocks creator Aaron McGruder.

And I couldn’t be more excited.

The show was first called “Re-Established” when it was announced last year.

Wood, McGruder, Daily Show host Trevor Noah and Mainstay Entertainment’s Norman Aladjem and Derek Van Pelt are executive producers. Millicent Shelton of “Black-ish” and “30 Rock” will direct.

“It’s my pleasure to partner with a network that understands an artist’s need to take the creative road less traveled to mine humor from complicated social prisms such as jail reform and gentrification,” Wood told the Hollywood Reporter.

“Humor that also explores the human condition is the most meaningful, but can sometimes be the most challenging. 'The Daily Show’ has answered that call numerous times, and I am excited to tell new stories with Mr. McGruder, who is no stranger to these waters. Excited to tell these stories in a new place (Birmingham) and even more excited to go on this journey with an African-American woman director at the helm. Comedy Central has proven to me to be the right place to take on this challenge. Also, my mom has a long list of chores for me to do. So it’ll be kinda cool to shoot at home.”

Woods will appear in a press conference with Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin Friday morning at 10:45 a.m. to discuss the filming of the pilot.
