Tina Fey is set to lead the series and will be joined by the newest casting addition Steve Carell. The news of Carell’s casting serves as a mini-reunion for himself and Fey as they previously headlined the 2010 comedy film Date Night. It’s unclear exactly what roles they’ll play within this adaptation, but presumably, they’ll be the TV counterparts to the roles inhabited by Burnett and Alda in the film.

The television series is co-created by Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield. Together, they executive produce the series with David Miner, Eric Gurian, and Jeff Richmond. Meanwhile, Alda will serve as a producer with Marissa Bregman. Alda memorably recurred as a guest star on Fey’s 30 Rock. The show is produced by Universal Television and Little Stranger, Inc.
