EXCLUSIVE: The creative team behind last season’s CBS comedy series Fam, creator/executive producer Corinne Kingsbury, Wendi Trilling’s TrillTV, Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment and CBS TV Studios, have reunited for another multi-camera comedy project, which has landed at CBS with a put pilot commitment.
Written by Kingsbury, the untitled half-hour is a semi-autobiographical comedy about a daughter and her mom. When Penelope’s career takes off at exactly the same time as her husband’s, they call on Penelope’s young single mom, Georgia, to help raise their son, but what they find is Georgia needs more raising than their kid.
