Television's former 'superstar' is back.

According to Deadline, iconic SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE player Molly Shannon will reportedly star in and executive produce a new mother-daughter comedy for Fox, with SUPERSTAR director Bruce McCulloch on board to write.

"Fiona (Shannon) who, at the top of her professional career, clashes with her stay-at-home pregnant daughter."

Shannon was just nominated for a 2013 Emmy for her recurring role in HBO's Enlightened, and wrapped a stint on ABC's freshman comedy Super Fun Night alongside Rebel Wilson. Other TV credits include Hannibal, The Middle, Happily Divorced, Web Therapy, Up All Night, Neighbors from Hell, GLEE, Kath & Kim, Pushing Daisies, American Dad!, 30 Rock, Cracking Up, Will & Grace, Sex and the City, In Living Color and more. Shannon also appeared on Broadway in Promises, Promises in 2010. Her next big-screen projects are Life After Beth and Larry Gaye: Renegade Male Flight Attendant.
