Mom’s the word on NBC.
The network has bought an ensemble comedy about a working mom from A to Z creator Ben Queen and Inside Out screenwriter Meg LeFauve, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The half-hour, single-camera script centers on a mom who attempts to get over her need to be the perfect parent by banging together with her friends to admit — and even celebrate — the messy reality of parenting. The group of friends share their daily mistakes, deepening their bonds, while their kids manage to survive and even thrive.
