Fox orders a new animated series starring Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph.
The two leading ladies are teaming up again for a new half-hour comedy series titled Bless the Harts.
The Saturday Night Live and Bridesmaids stars will lend their voices to the series that is created and executive produced by Emily Spivey.
According to Entertainment Tonight, the series follows a group of Southerners who are always broke and struggling for the American dream of status and wealth. What they don’t realize is that they’re already rich, in friends, family, and laughter.
“Emily Spivey has the uncanny ability to observe the simplest qualities of everyday life, framing together bold characters and hilarious stories built around warmth and heart,” said Michael Thorn, President of Entertainment at Fox Broadcasting Company. “Having grown up in a close-knit southern family, she has a deep well of material that has inspired her to create this show, with a phenomenal cast, headlined by Kristen, Maya, Jillian and Ike. As home to television’s most iconic animated families – the Simpsons, Griffins and Belchers – we’re thrilled to welcome the Harts to Fox.”
