STORY: ‘Breaking Bad’s’ Betsy Brandt to Play Michael J. Fox’s Wife in NBC Comedy
NBC ordered 22 episodes of the untitled single-camera comedy starring Fox as a husband and father of three from New York City dealing with family, career and challenges — including Parkinson’s disease. Fox will play Mike Burnaby, a former lead anchor at a local station in New York City who decides to go back to work after Parkinson’s forced him to take time off.
Goglia, who played a young Emma Stone in Easy A — which was directed and produced by Will Gluck, the exec producer and director on the Fox comedy — will play Eve, Mike’s middle child, who is whip-smart but not book-smart and likes to game the system.
