'Seinfeld's Michael Richards Set for TV Land's GIANT BABY

Deadline reports that Michael Richards is set to co-star in TV Lands upcoming pilot GIANT BABY. The Seinfeld star joins previously announced cast members Kirstie Alley and Rhea Perlman. Dancing With the Stars alum Gilles Marini will also guest star in the project.  

"Giant Baby" revolves around Madison "Maddie" Banks, a Broadway star who finds her life turned upside down when Arlo, her long-lost son, turns up looking to connect after his adopted mother has died. However, Maddie doesn't exactly see nerdy and schlubby Arlo fitting in with her luxurious lifestyle. When her attempt to change Arlo backfires, Maddie finds that perhaps they both could use a little change in their lives.

The pilot is written and executive produced by Marco Pennette and is also executive produced by Kirstie Alley and Jason Weinberg. Larry W. Jones and Keith Cox serve as executive producers for TV Land.

Richards is best known for his portrayal of 'Kramer' on the long-running NBC sitcom 'Seinfeld.' The actor earned three Emmy awards playing Jerry's eccentric neighbor and friend. He also starred in NBC's The Michael Richards Show and has had guest appearances on HBO's 'Curb Your Enthusiasm.'
