Discuss ABC's 2020-21 lineup and also you can view complete program information.
Starz, a Lionsgate company, announced that Emmy(R) winner and Golden Globe(R) nominee Debra Messing (Will & Grace, Smash, The Starter Wife) will executive produce and star in the network's new series in development East Wing. The half-hour comedy is created and written by Ali Wentworth (Nightcap, Jerry Maguire), who will also appear in the series alongside Messing, and Liz Tuccillo (Divorce, Sex and the City). East Wing is produced by Lionsgate and executive produced by Messing, Wentworth, Tuccillo and 3 Arts Entertainment's Howard Klein (The Office, The Mindy Project) and Molly Madden (The Starter Wife, Picture Perfect).
East Wing draws from the experiences of Ali Wentworth's mother, who served as Social Secretary in the White House during Ronald Reagan's presidency in the 1980s. It tells the story of Hollis Carlisle (Messing), a hostess extraordinaire who juggles her threatened husband, rebellious children, Nancy Reagan's Chief of Staff and a crippling social anxiety disorder. Ali will reoccur as Hollis's best friend, Kelly Forbes, who is a stay at home mom and is threatened by Hollis's success.
