Meg Ryan signs deal to star in and executive produce NBC sitcom

The Peacock will have what Meg’s having.

EW has confirmed that NBC has ordered a pilot starring onetime rom-com queen Meg Ryan, who will both headline and executive produce the half-hour comedy. (The Hollywood Reporter first posted the news.) Here’s the official logline:

“A sunny, devoted and desperately non-confrontational single mom (Meg Ryan) decides to return to her New York publishing house where she was once a brilliant editor to find that she now works for Brenda, he neurotic 30 year old boss who was once her former intern. Now Rose must find a way to keep her boss, her teenage kids, her almost ex-husband and her meddlesome mother in law all happy, which results in her overcomplicating every situation and somehow always making it worse.”

So… Meg Saves the World, then?

Miss Congeniality writer Marc Lawrence penned the script and will co-executive produce, alongside Ryan and Ryan’s manager Jane Berliner. If the series is picked up, it will mark Ryan’s first starring role on TV since the short-lived 1985 western Wildside – though the Golden Globe nominee has appeared sporadically in guest roles on shows including Curb Your Enthusiasm and, more recently, Showtime’s Web Therapy.

NBC tried 'names' this season and failed, hope they have better luck next season.

What the Hell Happened to Meg Ryan?

I hate to say it but if it's on NBC, it's almost guaranteed to fail and Meg isn't drawing a crowd like she once did.
And I think it's a shame that she joined the ranks of the others that decided she needed plastic surgery. She was naturally cute. It's sad that they are all so vain they ruin their looks in that attempt to regain youth.
I have a secret, nothing will stop aging, it happens to all of us. I prefer to see the natural beauty God gave us.
