Tymberlee Hill Joins Bradley Whitford NBC Comedy Pilot ‘Perfect Harmony’; Fran Drescher In ‘Uninsured’
EXCLUSIVE: Marry Me alum Tymberlee Hill is returning to NBC as a series regular opposite Anna Camp and Bradley Whitford on the network’s newly titled single-camera comedy pilot Perfect Harmony (fka Untitled Bradley Whitford). Starring and executive produced by Whitford, the project hails from Lesley Wake Webster (Speechless), Jason Winer (Single Parents) and his Small Dog Picture Company, and 20th Century Fox TV. Written by Webster and directed by Winer, the comedy is about a rural church choir that gets the director it never thought it needed when a salty Ivy League music professor (Whitford) stumbles through their door. Hill will play Adams Adams, the richest woman in town, and a force of nature who is the undisputed star of the choir, partly because everyone’s afraid of her. Hill, who played Kay on Marry Me, also recurs on the TBS dark comedy Search Party. She is repped by Odenkirk-Provissiero Entertainment, TalentWorks and Morris Yorn.
