Meg Ryan planning to return to the screen…the small screen?

According to numerous entertainment websites, Meg Ryan is set to star in and co-produce a half hour sitcom for NBC which if given the green light would debut in 2014!  I am excited and hope it all comes to fruition.  I have missed seeing Meg on the screen and this follows the path of so many movie starts…segueing into TV roles.  The former romcom queen is set to play a former NY editor who returns to the publishing house where she was once a superstar only to find her former intern (age 30) is to be her new boss.  Her character will be a single mom of teenagers (bless her!) with an almost ex-husband and a meddling mother-in-law (again, bless her!).  Meg will co-produce along with her manager Jane Berliner (Universal Television) and the script is from former Family Ties Emmy nominee Marc Lawrence (also wrote screenplay for Miss Congeniality).

Meg has been lively a rather quiet life as of late (according to People Magazine) raising her daughter Daisy and hanging out with boyfriend John Mellencamp in NYC.  Sounds like a great vehicle for Meg to get back in front of the camera and follows the pattern of so many movie stars..think Don Cheadle, Anna Faris, Kristen Bell, William Macy and Halle Berry (committed to CBS drama Extant).  (Many others as well, too many to name) Great news for Meg Ryan fans!

Tonight, looking forward to catching The Good Wife and the new ABC enticing drama Betrayal!

Catch you tomorrow!
