Judy Greer Joins Ellie Kemper in ABC's Working Moms Comedy Pilot
Fresh off the untimely cancellation of Reboot, Judy Greer has bounced back with a lead role opposite Ellie Kemper in ABC’s working moms-themed comedy pilot Drop-Off, TVLine has learned.
The potential series, based on the 2016 British comedy Motherland, centers on Kemper’s Julia, an overstretched mother who is struggling to balance her work and family lives. Greer plays the hyper confident, super-organized, Amanda, one of the terrifyingly “together” moms who runs the inner circle at Julia’s kids’ school. Amanda’s an expert at the art of a compliment that’s actually an insult. In the pilot, Julia agrees to watch Amanda’s kids while the latter prepares for one of her famous dinner parties.
