Maya Rudolph & Kristen Wiig Will Star in New Animated Comedy

Comedy MVPs Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig are teaming up again for a new animated comedy on Fox. According to Deadline, the Network ordered 13 episodes of Bless the Harts straight-to-series. The show will be written by Emily Spivey, who also wrote Wine Country, Amy Poehler's upcoming Netflix film starring almost every female SNL alum.

"Emily Spivey has the uncanny ability to observe the simplest qualities of everyday life, framing together bold characters and hilarious stories built around warmth and heart," said Fox exec Michael Thorn. "Having grown up in a close-knit southern family, she has a deep well of material that has inspired her to create this show, with a phenomenal cast, headlined by Kristen, Maya, Jillian and Ike. As home to television's most iconic animated families -- the Simpsons, Griffins and Belchers -- we're thrilled to welcome the Harts to Fox."

Bless the Harts will also star the voices Jillian Bell, and Ike Barinholtz and follows a group of southerners "who are always broke as a joke, and struggling for the American dream of status and wealth. What they don't realize is that they're already rich, in friends, family and laughter."
