Kyra Sedgwick has been cast to lead My Village from Kari Lizer (The New Adventures of Old Christine), Sony Pictures TV and ABC Studios.
In the ABC comedy pilot, empty-nester mom Jean Raines (Sedgwick) wonders how she ended up alone while her children live their best lives thousands of miles away. She decides her place is with her family and as she reinserts herself into their lives, her kids realize they might actually need her more than they thought.
Born and raised in Iowa, she is practical and can’t be bothered with sugar coating. Very comfortable in her own skin, Jean is not a natural fit in the Los Angeles culture of anti-aging remedies and butt implants. She is a person that people confide in, except sometimes her own children. She is a fierce defender of her family and will stop at nothing to protect her connection to them. The sudden loss of her husband has left her a tad neurotic when it comes to worrying about the well-being of the people she loves.
Sedgwick won an Emmy and a Golden Globe for her starring role on The Closer. She currently stars on Brooklyn Nine-Nine in a recurring role as Chief Wuntch.
