The series, now known temporarily as “Untitled,” stars Katy Mixon, a lead in the “Mike and Molly” series on CBS since 2010, which was canceled in January.
The network said she stars as Katie Otto, a “confident, unapologetic, plump wife and mother of three, [who] raises her flawed family in the wealthy town of Westport, Conn., filled with ‘perfect’ mommies and their ‘perfect’ offspring.”
It adds: “She lets us in on her deepest, most unfiltered thoughts through voiceover as the she lives her life as the second fattest housewife in Westport.”
Also starring in the series from writer Sarah Dunn are Diedrich Bader, Johnny Sequoyah, Ali Wong, Carly Hughes, Julia Butters and Daniel DiMaggio.
