The killing star Mireille Enos is set up to act in front Bob Odenkirk in the next AMC Straight man. The series is based on an adaptation of Richard Russo’s novel of the previous one The killing writer-producer Aaron Zelman And The office alum Paul Lieberstein. They serve as showrunners.
In the comedy-drama series, “William Henry Devereaux Jr. (Odenkirk) is the unlikely and reluctant president of the English department at an underfunded college in the Pennsylvania rust area. His discontent is rooted in unresolved issues with his father, a mediocre and licensed student body, and in the fact that his department is more wildly divided than the Balkans. “
Enos will play the role of Lily Devereaux, “the unabashed, emotional down-to-earth wife of Hank Devereaux, Jr., and vice principal of the local high school in rural Pennsylvania where they live. As Hank’s life begins to unravel, Lily begins to question the path she has taken and the choices she has made. She will begin exploring other opportunities for herself as she does her best to keep Hank and their adult daughter on track. “
Zelman and Lieberstein said, “We couldn’t be more thrilled to have Mireille on board to play Lily. She carries a steam chest full of dramatic hits, an unstoppable desire to explore the character, and a megawatt smile that lights up every Zoom. It is a delight.
Pietro Farlly (Green book, dumb and dumber) will produce and direct.
