Kristen Wiig to star in Apple TV+ comedy Mrs. American Pie, possibly joined by Laura Dern
-
Wiig, who dropped out of the Apple TV+ series You Think It, I’ll Say It four years ago due to a Wonder Woman 2 scheduling conflict, has signed on to star in a 10-episode adaptation of Juliet McDaniel's novel Mr. & Mrs. American Pie. Dern, who will executive produce, is "also eyeing a central role in the comedy," according to The Hollywood Reporter. Created by Abe Sylvia, Mrs. American Pie is "set in the early 1970s and revolves around Maxine Simmons’ (Wiig) attempt to secure her seat at America’s most exclusive table: Palm Beach high society," per The Hollywood Reporter. "As Maxine attempts to cross that impermeable line between the haves and the have-nots, the comedy asks the same questions that still baffle people today: Who gets a seat at the table? How do you get a seat at the table? What will you sacrifice to get there?"
