EXCLUSIVE: Actresses and best friends Cheryl Hines and Rachael Harris are set to headline and executive produce Barracudas, a single-camera comedy from Telenovela creators Christine Pietrosh and Jessica Goldstein, director-producer Jason Winer (Single Parents), 20th Century Fox TV and Winer’s studio-based Small Dog Picture Company. The project has received a put pilot commitment by ABC.
Written by Pietrosh and Goldstein,, the half-hour comedy is about sisters Becky and Bernie Byrnes (Hines & Harris). Per the show’s revised description, they are two incredibly different, spectacular divorce lawyers who spend their lives getting people out of dysfunctional relationships but who can’t get out of their own dysfunctional relationship – their relationship with each other.
