Los Angeles, Feb 27 (.) CBS is developing a new multi-camera sitcom titled You’re Only Young Twice, with Ashley Tisdale attached as both lead star and executive producer. The project is being mounted by CBS Studios.
Written by Tommy Johnagin (Ted Animated, That 90’s Show), the project centres on Emily (Tisdale) and Alex, who got pregnant and married in high school, but now the are 35 and their kid is starting college. That means they can get divorced and start life all over again while they’re still young enough to enjoy it. Newly divorced empty-nesters, they stumble through dating, co-parenting, and maybe a second chance at love.
Johnagin will executive produce alongside Tisdale and Mandy Summers, whose past credits include That ’90s Show, The Pradeeps of Pittsburgh and the reboot of A Different World, according to DEADLINE.
This marks a return to multi-camera comedy and CBS for Tisdale, who was a series regular on the 2020 sitcom Carol’s Second Act starring Patricia Heaton. The High School Musical alumna, who also starred on the CW drama series Hellcats and Netflix comedy series Merry Happy Whatever and is a main voice-over cast member of Phineas and Ferb, has been making waves with her “Breaking Up With My Toxic Mom Group” essay for The Cut. . . .
