ABC is replacing David Schwimmer with Justin Long.
The New Girl and Mom actor will star in the network’s comedy pilot Irreversible, which previously featured the Friends alum in the lead role, our sister site Deadline reports.
The single-cam project — which didn’t get a series pickup for the 2014-2015 season — centers around Andy (played by Long) and Sarah, a somewhat eccentric, self-absorbed couple, and their trials and tribulations — most of which they bring upon themselves.

Drifters has been renewed for a second series.
The broadcaster's chief creative officer Jay Hunt announced at this year's annual report that the sitcom was part of the channel's aim to "foreground female voices".
Chief executive David Abraham also named the comedy as one of his "standout moments" of 2013.
Jessica Knappett's show debuted in October last year, attracting around 500,000 viewers on average. Lydia Rose Bewley and Lauren O'Rourke also starred.
Head of comedy Phil Clarke said of Knappett: "Her writing gets stronger and stronger, and she was a different writer at the end of that series than she had been at the beginning."
Inbetweeners Movie star Knappett previously confirmed that she was writing a second series back in January.
She said: "I'm tempting fate a bit, but I've started writing it just in case. It's looking good and I want to be ahead of the game if it happens.
