Big Bang Theory stars Jim Parsons (Sheldon Cooper) and Mayim Bialik (Amy Farrah Fowler) are reuniting to executive-produce a new comedy series.
The show is inspired by Miranda Hart’s comedy series Miranda. It will be titled Carla and will follow a 39-year-old woman who uses her wedding money to open a cat cafe. She is trying to prove to her parents that you cannot be happy when you have everything you want in life. Bialik will be playing the lead role of Carla.
Fox Entertainment President Michael Thorn told Deadline: “In pursuing a hand-crafted approach to our scripted development, Charlie [Collier, Fox Entertainment CEO] and I knew Carla, written by Darlene Hunt, was a project with great potential that could become the centerpiece of our comedy slate.
“And Jim Parsons and Mayim Bialik coming to Fox Entertainment is obviously an enormous part of that equation. Carla is an unapologetically big, broad multi-cam with a strong female point-of-view, pushing the format in a way that will be distinctive.”
Carla is scheduled to be released in fall 2020.
