Kaitlin Olson and Rob Riggle to Star Along Leah Remini in New FOX Comedy

Kaitlin Olson returns to FOX only three months after her show, THE MICK, was cancelled, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Olson will star opposite Leah Remini and Rob Riggle in the untitled comedy pilot from the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia team.

The show revolves around Jean (Remini), who considers herself a patriot who loves her country and firmly believes in everyone's right to be left alone. Jean in many ways fits the stereotype of a typical conservative. However, she leads a very progressive lifestyle, as she is now married to a woman, Birdie (Olson). Together they're raising Jean's two boys with the help of the boys' father and Jean's ex-husband, Richie (Riggle), who currently lives in the garage.

This pilot is the latest endeavour between Olson, her husband, Rob McElhenney, and the rest of the It's Always Sunny team. McElhenney and Rob Rosell will write and executive produce alongside Nick Frenkel, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton.
