“Cheers” fave Ted Danson and “Veronica Mars” herself Kristen Bell will team for a new sitcom.
The twosome are set for NBC’s new Michael Schur comedy series “Good Place”, the network announced today.
Bell plays Eleanor, a woman from New Jersey who comes to realize that she hasn’t been a very good person. She decides to turn over a new leaf by learning what it actually means to be “good” or “bad,” and then trying to make up for her past behavior.
Danson plays Michael, who, through an unlikely set of circumstances, comes to be Eleanor’s guide through her self-designed self-improvement course.
NBC ordered 13 episodes of Schur’s “Good Place” last August during the network’s TCA day.
“Good Place” will be produced by Universal Television, 3 Arts Entertainment and Fremulon. Schur and David Miner will executive produce.
