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.
Additionally, it has been announced that Will Forte, Colman Domingo, Kerri Kenney-Silver, and Erika Henningsen will also star in the series in yet-to-be-revealed roles.
