Kaley Cuoco Comedy ‘Kansas City Star’ From ‘Hacks’ Creators Nears HBO Series Order
HBO has ordered to series comedy Kansas City Star, starring Kaley Cuoco and created by the Hacks trio of Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky.
It joins another big WBTV package that landed a straight-to-series order, an untitled Steve Carell comedy from Bill Lawrence, and two projects that got series pickups after filming pilots, one created by and starring Rachel Sennott, and Tim Robinson and Zach Kanin’s The Chair Company. In addition to The Flight Attendant, through her WBTV deal, Cuoco also produces and voices the title character in the Max animated series Harley Quinn. This also marks another female-lead comedy vehicle for Aniello, Downs and Statsky after Hacks whose star Jean Smart has won an Emmy for each of the series’ three seasons to date.
