ABC developing new Michael Showalter comedy called Work Married
With Wet Hot American Summer: First Day Of Camp lighting up the Netflix charts a few months ago and his next feature film (Hello, My Name Is Doris with Max Greenfield and Sally Field) hitting theaters early next year, the comedy world is enjoying a bit of a Michael Showalter-aissance. OK, that’s not really a thing, but Showalter has had a lot of new projects in the works lately. News about his most recent one comes from Deadline, which says ABC is developing a new series from Showalter and Christina Lee, his writing partner, called Work Married. The show will follow “unconventional Vermont state senator Michael Sherman and his type-A overachieving chief of staff Christina Kim” (both of whom seem to have weirdly familiar names) as they realize that their “work marriage is the only relationship they’ve got left.”
