Ted Danson is joining Elizabeth Banks in an as-yet-untitled Apple TV comedy series created by Liz Heldens and Matt Ward, according to multiple reports. Banks is set to star as Heidi, a character who is “fresh off a messy divorce” and embarks on a new direction, as described in the project’s logline. Ted Danson is announced as a newly added cast member, with Rob Delaney previously reported as also joining the series. Variety and Deadline both report Danson’s casting alongside Banks for the Apple TV project.
Deadline adds that production is scheduled to begin in Los Angeles this year. Separate reporting from Variety also states that Katey Sagal has joined the same untitled comedy, appearing alongside Banks, Danson, and Delaney. The sources agree on the show’s overall creative team and lead cast, while details beyond the character premise are limited in the available coverage.
