CBS has locked down Damon Wayans Jr. and Cedric the Entertainer for the 2018-2019 TV season, granting series orders to a pair of comedy pilots starring the actors.
The ?New Girl? alum?s project, a (still) untitled multi-cam series from writers Tim McAuliffe (?The Last Man on Earth?) and Austen Earl (?9JKL?) and singer Harry Styles and ?The Late Late Show? exec producer Ben Winston. The sitcom focuses on a 30-something couple tired of their mundane life, who start to reconnect with their younger, cooler selves when an emerging pop star, who is drawn to their super normal suburban life, moves in.
Wayans will play Peter, a good guy with a sense of humor, who is happily married to his dream wife, Claire (Amber Stevens). He is an accountant and the business manager of young superstar musician, Cooper (Felix Mallard), who comes to live with them.
?The series is inspired by a time when executive producers Ben Winston and Harry Styles lived together,? CBS Studios said in a statement to TheWrap. ?However, that?s where the reality ends. The show is not based on real life experiences or characters.?
