A Changing Bitch

Kristen Bell to NBC’s rescue!

Well, kinda sorta.

The Showtime star (House of Lies) has been cast opposite Ted Danson on Good Place, a new straight-to-series 13-ep comedy that the Peacock has commissioned from Mike Schur, the co-creator of Parks and Recreation. Fret not, though, House of Lies fans: The actress will remain a part of that show.

Phew.

On Good Place, though, Bell will play a woman from New Jersey – look who’s having a moment, America! – who realizes that she pretty much has been sucking as a person all her life. The funny comes from her trying to change by finally learning the difference between good and bad.

Danson will play her reluctant mentor during this journey toward self-betterment.

Sounds earnest enough to work.
