NBC's 'Growing Ivy' to star Susan Sarandon and daughter
A new NBC comedy pilot is about to be a family affair. It stars Susan Sarandon and her daughter Eva Amurri Martino, as the latter conceived and has co-written the show! Rashida Jones is also involved!
Will McCormack and former Parks and Recreation star Rashida Jones are executive producing the effort with McCormack also writing with Martino. Sarandon and Martin will co-executive produce.
A synopsis of the show says:Growing Ivy finds Martino in the lead role of Ivy Davis, a Type A career woman with a flailing personal life who invites her freewheeling, eccentric mom Franckie (Sarandon) to move in with her and work on their relationship. Her goal? To experience some of the stability she lacked in her childhood, restore balance in her everyday existence and potentially find love.Good stuff! Are you excited? I wish Rashida was going to actually be in the show as well rather than behind the scenes.
