Showtime announced that it has greenlit the half-hour comedy pilot Seasoned, starring longtime married actors and recent viral sensations Mandy Patinkin (Homeland) and Kathryn Grody (The Lemon Sisters). The scripted comedy - inspired by the couple's real life and relationship - is co-created and co-written by writer-director Ewen Wright and their son Gideon Grody-Patinkin. JAX Media is producing the project for SHOWTIME, with pilot production set for July in New York City. Seasoned follows the delightfully tumultuous relationship and life of a successful, gregarious, deeply committed, slightly insane married couple played by Patinkin and Grody - roles they've been rehearsing for the last 43 years. The source of their unending magic is the same as their unending woe: that they've stayed together all this time.
