Kristen Wiig Will Star In Apple’s Reese Witherspoon-Produced Comedy

Kristen Wiig is set to star in a comedy ordered to series at Apple that boasts Reese Witherspoon among its executive producers, Variety has confirmed.

The 10-episode, half-hour comedy is inspired by Curtis Sittenfeld’s upcoming short story collection You Think It, I’ll Say It. It marks Wiig’s first regular television role since she left Saturday Night Live. She will also serve as an executive producer on the show. This marks Apple’s first half-hour scripted comedy order.

Colleen McGuinness created the series and will serve as showrunner and executive producer. Witherspoon will executive produce via her Hello Sunshine banner along with Lauren Neustadter and Wiig. Sittenfeld will serve as a consulting producer.

This marks the third project Witherspoon and Hello Sunshine have set up at Apple. She and Jennifer Aniston will also star in a currently untitled morning show drama for the streamer, and she will executive produce Are You Sleeping, co-produced by Chernin Entertainment with Octavia Spencer attached to star.

In addition to the three Witherspoon projects, Apple is also prepping a reboot of Amazing Stories from executive producer Steven Spielberg, Ron Moore’s untitled space race drama, the drama See from Steven Knight and Francis Lawrence, and the docuseries Home from Matt Tyrnauer and Matthew Weaver.
