TV Land will enter the sitcom fray with two new scripted comedy series, Hot in Cleveland and Retired at 35. The cast-contingent pilots are being developed for TV Land PRIME. The former is written by Emmy-winning scribe Suzanne Martin (Frasier) and helmed by Sean Hayes' (Will & Grace) Hazy Mills Production. It centers on three L.A. women who are BFFs and find themselves in a brave new world: Cleveland, Ohio.
Retired at 35 is penned by Reba's Chris Case and executive produced by Michael Hanel and Mindy Schultheis (Rita Rocks, Reba). Its lead character is a New York City office slave who departs the 9-to-5 routine for a leisurely life in the Florida retirement community — with his parents.
"TV Land is thrilled to work with some of the most talented writers and producers in the business to create funny, relatable sitcoms for our viewers," said TV Land president Larry W. Jones. "TV Land's programming line-up features some of the most popular comedies on television, making TV Land PRIME the perfect environment to premiere original sitcoms.
"Our audience truly loves this genre and we can't wait to give them more."
TV Land PRIME is the network's prime-time programming destination designed for people in their mid-forties and the exclusive home to the premieres of the network's original programming, contemporary television series acquisitions and movies. TV Land PRIME is part of TV Land, which is seen in over 93 million U.S. homes.
