It’s pilot casting season!
Multiple outlets confirm that Oliver Hudson and Malin Akerman have been cast the CBS comedy pilot The Three of Us. The two are set to star as two of the comedy’s leads.
The Three of Us hails from writer Frank Pines, Fulwell 73, and CBS TV Studios. It follows adult siblings who are children of divorce and must circle the wagons when their sister’s husband unexpectedly announces he wants to call it quits on their marriage.
Hudson and Akerman will play two of the three siblings — named Will and Ally respectively. Will is the worrier in the family who has always been protective of his little brother and sister, Akerman’s Ally. Clever and perceptive, he has a problematic need to help “father” everyone around him, so when his sister’s husband dumps her, his instincts kick in and moves her into his house.
Ally, the middle sibling, is smart and resilient. She is thought of as the most “normal” and sensible one in the family but also plagued with seriously bad luck. Her latest catastrophe is her husband just left her and she finds herself dealing with being a single mom to an 8-year-old son and having to move in with her big brother, Will, and his wife.
Ben Winston, Jeff Grosvenor, and James Corden will executive produce The Three of Us, with CBS Television Studios producing.
