The pilot, first ordered ordered in May, is part of FOX's off-cycle slate so it's in contention for midseason or even beyond that per The Hollywood Reporter.
The untitled comedy revolves around a woman, her ex-husband and her new wife, who all work together to raise a family in middle America.
Remini will play Jean, 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, Betty. Together, they’re raising Jean’s two boys with the help of the boys’ father and Jean’s ex-husband, Richie, who currently lives in the garage.
