Fox has put in development The Sidelines, a single-camera half-hour comedy starring and executive produced by Heroes alumna Ali Larter, from writer Kate Gersten (The Good Place), Ben Stiller’s Red Hour Productions and SideCar Content Accelerator. The project is a co-production between SideCar and Fox Entertainment.
Written by Gersten, The Sidelines follows a newly separated mother of two (Larter), who, at age 40, decides to achieve her lifelong dream of becoming a professional cheerleader. Against all odds, she makes the squad for a local Detroit football team and becomes the accidental den mother to this group of scrappy, resilient young women — and rediscovers herself in the process.
