Fox will not move forward with _Cabot College_, a comedy about an all-female school that begins accepting male students, [according to ](http://www.vulture.com/2014/08/tina-fey-fox-pilot-cabot-college-is-dead.html?mid=twitter%5Fvulture "undefined")Vulture. Fey—of _SNL_, _Mean Girls_ and _30 Rock_ fame—was set to produce the show with _30 Rock_ showrunner Robert Carlock. The cast included comedians Margaret Cho and Asif Ali, and the script was penned by Matt Hubbard—another _30 Rock_ alum. But do not despair, _30 Rock_ fans. Fey and Carlock have a mid-season order from NBC for a show called _The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt_, starring _The_ _Office_‘s Ellie Kemper. \[[_Vulture_](http://www.vulture.com/2014/08/tina-fey-fox-pilot-cabot-college-is-dead.html?mid=twitter%5Fvulture "undefined")\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3139601/fox-kills-tina-feys-new-pilot/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3139601/fox-kills-tina-feys-new-pilot/"},"headline":"Fox Kills Tina Fey's New Pilot","datePublished":"2014-08-19T00:52:06.000Z","dateModified":"2026-02-21T09:44:03.440Z","description":"Because the world is a cruel and unfair place","url":"https://time.com/3139601/fox-kills-tina-feys-new-pilot/","keywords":["Television"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltec527badd0a983c4/69869ff536176076f390d823/489817133.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Eliana Dockterman","jobTitle":"Correspondent","url":"https://time.com/author/eliana-dockterman/"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/bltec527badd0a983c4/69869ff536176076f390d823/489817133.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"2014 NBC Upfront Presentation","caption":"2014 NBC Upfront Presentation","creditText":"Slaven Vlasic—Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/3139601/fox-kills-tina-feys-new-pilot/","name":"Fox Kills Tina Fey's New Pilot"}}]}] ```
