The cabler announced the news this week, noting that Cristin Milioti is signed on as the lead in the currently untitled pilot.
Cristin Milioti was already a big name on Broadway when she landed what may be the most important role in How I Met Your Mother’s history.
In addition Cristin Milioti and Nina Pedrad will also nab executive producing credits while Pedrad will pull additional duty as the showrunner on the potential comedy.
Pilots often get made that don’t end up turning into TV series, but I’d really like to see Cristin Milioti get a win.
