Ryan will play Rose, a sunny, devoted and desperately non-confrontational single mom who decides to return to her New York publishing house where she was once a brilliant editor to find that she now works for Brenda, her neurotic 30 year old boss who was once her former intern.
Rose must find a way to keep her boss, her teenage kids, her almost ex-husband and her meddlesome mother in law all happy, which results in her over-complicating every situation and somehow always making it worse.
Ryan’s manager, Jane Berliner, is also executive producing the project, which comes via Universal TV.
Marc Lawrence (“Miss Congeniality”) is writing the project as well as executive producing.
