Cheers co-stars Rhea Perlman and Kirstie Alley (best known recently for her Dancing With the Stars appearance) are getting back together for the TV Land pilot, Giant Baby. According to TV Land, Perlman will play Alley’s long-suffering best friend.

TV Land executive vice president, development and original programming Keith Cox made the announcement, stating: “We’ve hit the jackpot getting Kirstie and Rhea back together. It’s a dream to work with such talented comedic actors like these ladies and create a show for them that’s funny and has interesting characters – Giant Baby hits all of those notes.”

The Plot:

Giant Baby revolves around Madison “Maddie” Banks, a Broadway star who finds her life turned upside down when Arlo, her long-lost son, turns up looking to connect after his adopted mother has died. However, Maddie doesn’t exactly see nerdy and schlubby Arlo fitting in with her luxurious lifestyle. When her attempt to change Arlo backfires, Maddie finds that perhaps they both could use a little change in their lives.
