Funeral Home Comedy Receives Pilot Production Commitment at CBS - best f y

CBS has given a pilot production commitment to a multi-camera comedy set at a family-run funeral home.

Currently titled “Fun,” the series centers on a life-long love story between a brother and a sister, who always encourage each other to have fun – no matter what hardship life is currently serving up. The project is said to celebrate life in spite of the fact that the family business is a funeral home. As they say in their family: “You can’t spell funeral without f-u-n.” The brother returns to his Pennsylvania hometown to help his sister run the struggling business after his emotional and devastating break-up with show business.

Former “Ugly Betty” co-stars Becki Newton and Michael Urie will star in the series in addition to serving as producers.
