ABC has tapped Superstore‘s Ruben Fleischer to direct the TV show pilot for The Second Fattest Housewife In Westport, a family comedy.
The pilot is from novelist and TV scribe, Sarah Dunn and producer Aaron Kaplan, with ABC Studios.
Deadline says:
The Second Fattest Housewife In Westport is narrated by Katie, a (slightly) larger, strong-willed mother raising her flawed family of three in a wealthy town filled with “perfect” wives and their “perfect” offspring. Dunn and Kaplan executive produce.
This marks a reunion for Kaplan and Fleischer who worked together on the first incarnation of paranormal comedy Strange Calls — based on an Australian format — which was also set at ABC.
