NEW SITCOM PILOTS 2020

 Julie Bowen Is Raised By Wolves

Julie Bowen will be Frankie Wolfe in new CBS sitcom

Continuing with the updates on new multi camera sitcom pilots that we started yesterday (Click for Part One here, Part Two here and Part Three here), we move today over to CBS who have just cast Modern Family's Julie Bowen as the lead in their RAISED BY WOLVES multi camera sitcom. Coming from Will & Grace creators Max Mutchnick and David Kohan it will follow Frankie Wolfe (Bowen), a very successful and fiercely independent crisis manager whose world is turned upside down when she decides to let someone into her life for the first time — an 11-year-old girl who she adopts and raises with the occasional help of her fragile, nervous wreck of a sister. Bowen’s Frankie is a totally put-together powerhouse whose aggressive, blunt-talking style belies the damage incurred by literally being raised by Wolfes (Barbara and Arnie).

Cheyenne Jackson Cast As Lead In Call Me Kat Sitcom At Fox

Fox, on the other hand, has cast a handsome hunk of their own: Cheyenne Jackson has joined Mayim Bialik in CALL ME KAT multi camera sitcom which is actually an American version of Miranda comedy which was very popular in United Kingdom and in which Tom Ellis played the male lead. It revolves around Kat (Bialik), a 39-year-old woman who struggles every day against society and her mother Sheila (Swoosie Kurtz) to prove that you cannot have everything you want — and still be happy. Which is why she spent the money her parents set aside for her wedding to open a Cat Café in Louisville, KY. Jackson will play her high school crush, Max, who recently returned from teaching English overseas and now works as a bartender across the street from the cat café. He’s getting over a long-term relationship with an ex that Kat imagines to be the most beautiful woman in the world — but Max values personality and humour over physical attractiveness.
