Apple TV+ has placed a straight-to-series order for a new comedy series starring Emmy Award winner Maya Rudolph (‘Saturday Night Live’, ‘Forever’). This latest Apple series will be created, written and executive produced by Peabody and Emmy Award winner Alan Yang (‘Little America’, ‘Master of None’) and Emmy Award winner Matt Hubbard (’30 Rock’, ‘Forever’).
The series will have episodes of half an hour duration and will follow the story of Molly (Rudolph), a woman whose seemingly perfect life is upended after her husband leaves her with nothing but 87 billion dollars.
Apart from starring, Rudolph will also executive produce the comedy series via her Animal Pictures production company along with Natasha Lyonne, Danielle Renfrew Behrens and 3 Arts’ Dave Becky. Universal Television, a division of Universal Studio Group, will serve as the studio.
This latest yet to be titled comedy series will be the second collaboration between Yang and Apple TV+, after the three-time Independent Spirit Award and NAACP Image Award-nominated anthology series ‘Little America’.
Further details about the rest of the cast, crew, title, number of episodes and release date of the comedy series are yet to be revealed by Apple TV+.
