The American Horror Story veteran has been cast in Fox’s new comedy, which is based on the BBC series Miranda.
Multiple outlets confirm that Cheyenne Jackson will star as the male lead opposite The Big Bang Theory alum Mayim Bialik.
In the series, Kat (Bialik), is a 39-year-old woman who struggles every day against society and her mother Sheila (Swoosie Kurtz) to prove that you CANNOT have everything you want and still be happy. Which is why she spent the money her parents set aside for her wedding to open a Cat Café in Louisville, Kentucky.
Jackson will play Max, Kat’s high school crush who recently returned from teaching overseas and now works as a bartender across the street from the Cat Café. Max is coming off a long-term relationship with an ex whom Kat imagines to be the most beautiful woman in the world, but Max values personality and humor over physical attractiveness.
Penning the series is writer Darlene Hunt. Hunt also executive produces with Bialik and fellow Big Bang alum Jim Parsons.
