ABC Family’s added another half-hour comedy series to its slate of projects, greenlighting Kevin from Work starring Noah Reid and Paige Spara. The single-camera workplace comedy was created by Barbie Adler (How I Met Your Mother), with Adler, Aaron Kaplan, and McG executive producing.

Adler is writing the series, and McG directed the pilot and will return to direct future episodes.

The cast also includes Matt Murray, Jordan Hinson, and Punam Patel. Strangers with Candy‘s Amy Sedaris is on board as a guest star. ABC Family will premiere Kevin from Work this summer.

“Single camera represents the evolution of our comedy brand,” said Karey Burke, Executive Vice President, Programming & Development, announcing the series. “Kevin from Work is an endearingly awkward love story – this time from the guy’s point of view.”

The Plot:

Kevin from Work is a half-hour workplace comedy centered on Kevin, a young man who declares his unrequited love for his coworker Audrey in a letter, believing he’ll never see her again after he accepts a job overseas. But when the opportunity falls through and Kevin is forced to return to his old job, how will he and Audrey continue to work together now that his feelings are no longer secret?
