Jennifer Garner’s Vandalia Films is developing a half-hour comedy at ABC Studios based on the book “The Geeks Shall Inherit the Earth.”

Tome, by writer Alexandra Robbins (“Pledged,” “The Overachievers”), follows seven different students with distinct quirks and how those personalities will prove valuable in adulthood.

Bert Royal, who penned the bigscreen laffer “Easy A,” will write the pilot. Donna Roth and Susan Arnold will produce.

Garner, who runs Vandalia with parter Juliana Janes, is set to co-star in the indie film “Butter,” which screened at the Telluride Film Festival and will unspool next week at the Toronto Film Festival.

Garner has history with ABC, toplining the Alphabet’s J.J. Abrams spy drama “Alias” for five years (2001-06).

Jennifer Garner and Ben Affleck are getting ready for another baby!

The couple, who are parents to two daughters – Violet, 5½, and Seraphina, 2½ – are “thrilled” to be expecting their third child, they confirm to the Associated Press.

Garner and Affleck, both 39, have each spoken of being hands-on parents. After Seraphina’s arrival, Garner said juggling acting and motherhood gave her a “split personality.”

“[I] feel like half my brain is somewhere else all the time, but when the camera’s rolling, I pull it together and focus for two minutes,” she said at the time, “and then I kind of turn back to a ditz again.”
