After Susan Edelman cast the successful pilot, Jeff Greenberg has been brought in to cast the first season of ABC’s “How to Live With Your Parents for the Rest of Your Life,” Back Stage has learned. The half-hour comedy stars former “Scrubs” mainstay Sarah Chalke as Polly, an uptight recent divorcee who, because of the bad economy, moves in with her laidback parents played by Elizabeth Perkins (“Weeds”) and Brad Garrett (“Everybody Loves Ramond”).
The series begins shooting in August and is set for a mid-season debut.
Meanwhile, a new Fox comedy kept its casting director after the pilot was picked up. Anya Colloff, of CFB Casting, was retained for the first season of “Ben and Kate.” The single-camera comedy stars Nat Faxon as Ben Fox, a shiftless man-child who moves in with his sister Kate, played by Dakota Johnson, to help her care for her young daughter.
The series is set to premiere Sept. 25, with production planned to start in July.
