Fox has given a script as well as a presentation order to Lyle & Caroline featuring Lisa Kudrow.

The half-hour animated comedy is produced by the Friends alumna Lisa Kudrow. The series is Fox’s latest animated effort after it ordered two new animated series for next season — Amy Poehler’s Duncanville and Bless This Mess from Emily Spivey, Phil Lord, Christopher Miller and Seth Cohen, which stars Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Jillian Bell, and Ike Barinholtz.

Lyle & Caroline is described as a family-driven comedy focusing on the friendship of its two titular characters, who form a surrogate grandparent/grandchild bond in an unexpected way. According to Deadline, Kudrow will provide the voiceover of Caroline, the high school-aged grandchild as well as the voiceover.

Brothers Eric and Justin Stangel (Late Show With David Letterman) will pen the script and executive produce alongside Kudrow.
