ABC’s set an October 2, 2013 premiere date for the half-hour comedy series Super Fun Night. Pitch Perfect star Rebel Wilson leads the cast of the new entry on ABC’s primetime lineup.
Rebel Wilson stars as Kimmie, Liza Lapira plays Helen-Alice, Lauren Ash is Marika, Kelen Coleman plays Felicity, and Kevin Bishop stars as Richard.
The Synopsis: Rebel Wilson writes and stars in an outrageous new comedy about what happens when you decide to live life outside your comfort zone.
For the last 13 years, Kimmie Boubier and her two best friends and roommates, Helen-Alice and Marika, have lived a sheltered life. Instead of going out on the weekends, they’ve had a standing date every Friday night. So while everyone around them is getting married and moving on (most painfully, at least to Kimmie, her younger sister, who just got engaged), all they have is each other and their “Super Fun Night” tradition.
That is, until junior attorney Kimmie gets a big promotion at her NYC law firm. Kimmie’s moving on up at work (literally, to the 28th floor). There’s her “frenemy” Kendall, a rival lawyer she’s known since college. They’ll clash on the job and after hours. She also meets handsome British attorney Richard Royce, the son of the firm’s senior partner, who she thinks might be attracted to her, especially after he mentions that he likes girls with a “bit of chunk.” It seems that suddenly Kimmie’s whole life is opening up, but Helen-Alice and Marika are worried she’ll leave them behind.
Can Kimmie convince them that life isn’t just for the pretty and the popular, and that it’s time these three friends put themselves out there? And maybe even get a date? Future adventures will find the BFFs attempting a group date with some guys in their apartment building, and putting an end to “Cookie Prom.” Kimmie will face off with Kendall in a dueling piano “sing off,” and grow closer to Richard as they form a special friendship.
