The sitcom is executive produced by Saturday Night Live vet Amy Poehler, under her Universal Television set production company Paper Kite.
Carol Burnett would, obviously, play the actress who’s sharing her home with the family.
The show has landed at ABC, where the network has given the series a large put-pilot commitment, which basically means a pilot is almost completely guaranteed to be filmed for the comedy.
The, currently untitled, multicamera comedy will focus on a family who gets the opportunity to buy the home of their dreams, a house that they would never be able to actually afford, in exchange for living there with the current owner, an older actress, until she dies.
