Twitter sensation “S**t My Dad Says” is becoming a CBS pilot with William Shatner set to play the larger-than-life dad at the center of it all.

The pilot will be based on the Twitter account, which has enlisted more than 1 million followers since launching in August, turning its creator, Justin Halpern, into an Internet star.

The pilot will be executive-produced by “Will & Grace” creators David Kohan and Max Mutchnick.

Halpern, 29, had moved back in with his parents in San Diego, and on Aug. 3 he launched Sh**t My Dad Says, a Twitter feed featuring colorful — often profane — comments made by his 73-year-old father during their daily conversations.

Shatner most recently starred on ABC’s legal dramedy “Boston Legal,” winning an Emmy for playing Denny Crane.
