Lake Bell and Elizabeth Meriwether?s new single-camera comedy ?Bless This Mess? has been given a six-episode series order at ABC, after the project was previously in contention at Fox.
The sitcom stars Bell and Dax Shepard as a newlywed couple, whose plans to ditch big city living for a simpler life in Nebraska doesn?t go as expected.
?Bell and Shepard headline a stellar cast in this hilarious take on a classic fish-out-of-water story that we found irresistible,? Karey Burke, president, ABC Entertainment, announced Tuesday.
?Bless This Mess? is a co-production between 20th Century Fox Television and ABC Studios. Meriwether (whose new comedy ?Single Parents? made its debut on ABC this fall, and who wrapped up Fox sitcom ?New Girl? last spring) and Bell are executive producing and co-created the series.
The series is set for a 2019 premiere on ABC.
