Katherine Heigl has been cast in CBS’ Our House.
Heigl will star as the female lead opposite Malcolm Barrett in the multi-camera family comedy pilot.
The half-hour comedy centers on a devoted dad (Barrett) and mom (Heigl), who are committed to raising their children with the love and support that mom never got.
Heigl’s character is described as “someone who tries her best to be a laid-back, progressive parent like her therapist husband, but often finds herself reverting to the old-school style of her parents. Now that she’s moved back into her childhood home, surrounded by her parents and crazy siblings, finding a balance between the wildly different parenting styles is going to be more difficult than she imagined.”
Directing the pilot is James Burrows from a script penned by Brendan O’Brien. Heigl will also exec produce the project.
Heigl is best known for her role as Izzie Stevens on ABC’s Grey’s Anatomy. She is currently starring on USA Network’s Suits.
