Paul Dano also stars. (Deadline.com)

In addition, Shekhar Kapur (Elizabeth) has signed on to direct and executive produce the debut installment. Ross Fineman and Pancho Mansfield also executive produce alongside writer Glen Mazzara.

Max Mutchnick ("Partners") is co-writing the half-hour, about "a 1970s-era single mom and her ongoing quest to find a husband, while still sleeping with her daughter's married father," alongside Kightlinger. Warner Bros. Television, home to Mutchnick's Too Mutch Ink, is producing. (Deadline.com)
