Melissa McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone have landed a pilot deal with TV Land for such a show about her former Groundlings friends, which they’re also slated to executive produce. The show will be written and EP’d by Hugh Davidson, Larry Dorf and Rachel Ramras. McCarthy will appear in the pilot.
“We are continuing to build our stable of innovative, engaging and challenging comedies, which is exactly what Melissa, Ben and these writers have brought us,” said TV Land. “With this script being from a group of alums from the Groundlings, we’re excited to know they’ll have an endless amount of creativity and interesting experiences to pull from.”
