It’s an Ugly Betty reunion!
Michael Urie and Becki Newton, who were series regulars on all four seasons of ABC’s Ugly Betty, are set to star in a new CBS comedy that is currently in development.
The multi-camera series titled Fun from 2 Broke Girls creator Michael Patrick King, has received a pilot production commitment from the network.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, “Fun is a lifelong love story between a brother and a sister, who always encourage each other to have fun — no matter what hardship life is currently serving up. Fun celebrates life — in spite of the fact that the family business is a funeral home. As they say in their family: ‘You can’t spell funeral without f-u-n.’ The brother (Urie) returns to his Pennsylvania hometown to help his sister (Newton) run the struggling business after his emotional and devastating breakup with…show business.”
