Breaking Bad veteran Anna Gunn has joined Chunk and Bean, a comedy pilot in development at ABC.
The single-camera family comedy is about two misfits with very different patents living next door, notes The Hollywood Reporter. Gunn will star as Chunk’s hovering mother, who tries to control everything her son does.
The series was inspired by writers Ed Herro and Brian Donovan, who wrote the pilot and are executive producing with Dave Hemingson.
Gunn starred in Fox’s Gracepoint, the American version of Broadchurch, which lasted one season. She won two Emmys for playing Skylar White on Breaking Bad and also starred on HBO’s Deadwood.
Gunn was originally supposed to star in CBS’ upcoming Criminal Minds spin-off Criminal Minds: Beyond Borders with Gary Sinise. However, she left the project, which will now co-star Alana De La Garza.
UPDATE: THR is now reporting that Andy Daly, the star of Comedy Central's Review, is going to co-star in the pilot. It was just reported that Review will end with its third season.
