“The Office” sweetheart, Ellie Kemper will return to NBC in a new sitcome written and produced by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock of “30 Rock.”
The network has ordered straight-to-series 13 episodes of new comedy for next fall. The series will center on a woman (Kemper) who “escapes from a doomsday cult and starts life over in New York City.”
“Tina and Robert, who cemented their partnership on 30 Rock, have created a new signature comedy for us that is audacious, emotional, and clever,” said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment.
