Liz Meriwether and Lake Bell Are Teaming Up on Newlywed Comedy “Bless This Mess” and Have Scored Pilot Production Commitment from Fox

The creator of New Girl and the writer/director In a World… have got a new sitcom focusing on a newlywed couple escaping from NYC to Nebraska.

Meriwether wrote the pilot and Bell is attached to star and direct.

We’ll be curious to see if this will be done in black and white and maybe take any other cues from Alexander Payne’s Nebraska.

NBC Orders 3 Female Led Comedies ‘One Big Happy,’ ‘Mission Control,’ ‘Bad Judge’

Now that space is cleared out after so many shows got the chop this week, NBC has ordered 3 comedy series, all led by women. Liz Meriwether’s comedy One Big Happy focused on a lesbian starting a family, Gary Sanchez Productions’ 60’s space program workplace comedy Mission Control starring Krysten Ritter, and Bad Judge starring Kate Walsh as an edgy judge all got series orders yesterday.

We do miss Community dearly, but we are excited to see what comes from this new crop.
