Fox has given a straight-to-series order to the multi-camera comedy Carla, based on Miranda Hart's hit BBC comedy Miranda, which is reuniting the former The Big Bang Theory co-stars. Parsons will serve as executive producer while Bialik will star and also serve as executive producer. Written by Darlene Hunt, Carla revolves around "a 39-year-old woman (Bialik) who struggles every day against society and her mother to prove that you CANNOT have everything you want — and still be happy. Which is why she spent the money her parents set aside for her wedding to open a Cat Café in Louisville, KY," per Deadline. Miranda, airing from 2009 to 2015, was one of the top-rated British comedy series of the last 10 years, with Hart playing what Deadline describes as "an exaggerated, bumbling version of herself, a quirky and agoraphobic woman who often lands in awkward situations, posher than most of her friends and a constant disappointment to her mother, who is desperate for her to find a husband."
