Plans for a Tracy Morgan-led comedy at are on at cable network FXX, which said Tuesday that it will wait for the comedian to recover from severe injuries he sustained in a car crash that killed one person over the weekend.

Morgan's yet-untitled half-hour series was set to debut early in 2015, with production starting in August. Those plans are on hold, pending his full recovery, according to a statement from mother network FX and FX productions.

"The only thing we are concerned with is the health and recovery of Tracy Morgan and the victims of this tragic accident," says the statement. "We will support Tracy and his family in every way possible throughout his recovery. At the point when Tracy has recovered and decides that he is ready to go back to work, his show will be waiting for him. Right now our thoughts and prayers remain with Tracy, the other victims of the accident, and their families."

Morgan, whose series received a 10-episode order back in April, was last reported in critical but stable condition.
