Sony Pictures Television is developing a remake of Norman Lear’s acclaimed 1970s series "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman". It hails from "Schitt’s Creek" co-star Emily Hampshire, who will co-write, executive produce and star as the title character Mary Hartman.

"Letterkenny" creator Jacob Tierney will co-write with Hampshire and Lear and Brent Miller’s Act III Productions. Tierney will serve as showrunner of the series, which will be shopped to buyers in the coming weeks.




The updated series is about a small-town woman (Hampshire) who feels like a nobody in every aspect of her life until she suddenly becomes a “Verified” social media somebody.

The remake will bring the original show’s satirical look at consumer culture into today’s social media world, where “America’s Typical Consumer Housewife” has now become the product consumed when her nervous breakdown goes viral.

The reboot of Norman Lear's "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman" will be on TBS, which is developing a new version of the classic sitcom starring "Schitt's Creek" alum Emily Hampshire.

Hampshire will co-write and executive produce along with "Letterkenny" creator Jacob Tierney, who would serve as showrunner.




Lear would be a producer as well, via his and Brent Miller's Act III Productions.

“The kick of kicks as I turn 99 today is learning that TBS is developing ‘MHMH’ and will allow us to make a new version of it starring Emily Hampshire,” Lear said. “As someone who believes his 99 years on this planet is owed to the amount of laughter he enjoyed through the years, here’s to the next 99. Bless you all!”
