From Variety:

Sorkin, Schlamme wing back to NBC
Duo sell behind-the-scenes drama skein

Aaron Sorkin and Thomas Schlamme are headed back to NBC.

Peacock has won an intense bidding war for the next TV show from "The West Wing" duo, an hourlong drama dubbed "Studio 7 on the Sunset Strip" that's set behind-the-scenes at a longrunning Los Angeles-based sketch comedy show (Daily Variety, Oct. 5). It's believed the net has made a rich 13-episode commitment to the Warner Bros. TV project.

Sorkin wrote the pilot script for the project before the pitching process began. That strategy helped build interest for the project among the webs and allowed WBTV to snag a premium commitment for it.

Sale of Sorkin project comes just a week after CBS won a battle for "Class," a WBTV-produced laffer from David Crane and Jeffrey Klarik.
