Lear is on board as an exec producer the series, which centers on a recently separated, former military mom (aka the character originated by the late Bonnie Franklin) navigating a new single life while raising her radical teenaged daughter and socially adept tween son, with the “help” of her old school Cuban-born mom and a friends-without-benefits building manager named — wait for it — Schneider (played in the original by the recently deceased Pat Harrington).
According to Deadline, Rita Moreno has signed on to play the grandmother. Additional casting is TBA.
