Kirstie Alley’s returning to the world of sitcoms with Kirstie’s New Show on TV Land. The network announced it has picked up the series and will be premiering the first season of 12 episodes this fall.
 
Alley will be playing a Broadway star in the new series which also features Michael Richards, Eric Petersen, and Rhea Perlman. Perlman and Alley previously worked together on the hit series, Cheers.
 
“This cast is a TV Land dream team of stars. Seeing them all together is truly mind-blowing,” said TV Land President Larry W. Jones. “This series pick-up reaffirms our commitment to making broadcast quality original programming for a network whose brand stands for timeless entertainment.”
 
“We’ve been after Kirstie for two years, and now we found the perfect show for her and the perfect writer in Marco Pennette,” added Keith Cox, Executive Vice President, Development and Original Programming. “We are so excited to give a home to Kirstie and this amazing cast with a show that TV Land fans will love.”
 
The Plot:
 
Kirstie’s New Show revolves around Madison ‘Maddie’ Banks, a renowned Broadway star who finds her life turned upside down when Arlo (Petersen), the son she gave up at birth, suddenly appears hoping to connect after his adoptive parents have died. However, Maddie doesn’t exactly see nerdy and schlubby Arlo fitting in with her luxurious lifestyle. But when Maddie’s assistant and best friend, Thelma (Perlman), and outlandish driver Frank (Richards) encourage her to give Arlo a chance, Maddie is shocked to find that perhaps she has motherly instincts after all.
