    The pilot for Shifting Gears was announced in March, but the show wasn't officially green-lit until this week.

    Mike Scully and Julie Thacker Scully created the pilot, but have since exited the series.

    A new showrunner is expected to be named soon.

    A network synopsis said the show follows Matt (Allen), "the stubborn, widowed owner of a classic car restoration shop. When Matt's estranged daughter (Dennings) and her teenage kids move into his house, the real restoration begins."
