Survivor winner John Cochran is developing a CBS comedy

The two-time Survivor player, John Cochran, is developing a multi-camera legal sitcom called “Class Action” alongside a writer of Modern Family.

After winningSurvivorCaramoan,winner John Cochran stated that, as people told him he had the gift of gab, instead of following his Harvard Law studies, he was going to try to become a writer. Earning writing credits forThe MillersandKevin Can Wait,Cochran has taken the next big step on his career path and has begun development of his own show.

Varietyreports that CBS is creating a multi-camera legal sitcom calledClass Action, with John Cochran andModern Familywriter Dan O’Shannon leading the project as writers. Additionally, Cochran will serve as a co-executive producer of the show, while Dr. Phil (of all people) will executive produced the show with their Stage 29 Productions studio.

This will mark the biggest departure fromSurvivorwe’ve seen from Cochran in the television world, although he is still near and dear to the hearts of the production crew. Earlier this year onSurvivorGame Changers,he was part of an Exile Island twist where he got to offer the lone player not to immediately make the merge some advice on how to play the game.

Debbie Wanner was the lucky participant, as the two talked strategy for Debbie as to how to get back into the good graces of her camp. In addition to his outside perspective as aSurvivorwinner, he also got to offer Debbie one of three bonus advantages to play in the rest of her game, and it helped (partially) to get out one of the biggest threats in the game, Ozzy.
