'Bridesmaids' co-stars and 'Saturday Night Live' alumni Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph are teaming up once more for an upcoming animated comedy for Fox entitled 'Bless the Harts'.
The half-hour series is set to feature the voices of Kristen Wiig, Maya Rudolph, Jillian Bell, and Ike Barinholtz and will follow a group of broke Southerners struggling for the American dream.
The show was created by Emily Spivey, who most recently worked on 'The Last Man on Earth' while she also worked with Rudolph and Wiig before when she served as a writer on 'Saturday Night Live' as well as Rudolph’s NBC variety show 'Maya & Marty' and Wiig's film 'Masterminds'.
Michael Thorn, President of entertainment for Fox Broadcasting Company: "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.
"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."
No word yet on when we will get to see it but we will keep you posted.
