TV Land is set to explore the rise of Melissa McCarthy.
The Viacom-owned cable network is teaming with the Oscar nominee and Emmy-winning comedian and her actor husband Ben Falcone for single-camera comedy script Friends With Melissa.
The comedy is inspired by the real lives of writers Hugh Davidson, Larry Dorf and Rachel Ramras who watched as their friends from Los Angeles-based improv and sketch comedy troupe The Groundlings went on to star in blockbuster comedies and win Oscars while they tiled away writing for children's television.
