Earlier this year, it was announced that Kristen Wiig would be joining Laura Dern for a new Apple TV + series titled American lady cake. The cast has been growing steadily since it was announced just last month Mom Vet Allison Janney has joined the cast. It’s an impressive addition but, if that wasn’t significant enough, the show has chosen another TV queen (one that’s even bigger than Janney): Carol Burnett.
The comedian will play the role of Norma in American lady cake. The character is the protagonist of the Palm Beach company, Norma, second THR. Additionally, the socialite is said to keep some secrets, which will no doubt be revealed as the program progresses.
The series marks the beloved star’s first live-action television role since 2019, during which he appeared in an episode of the Crazy about you Renaissance. He will also be her first time as a regular cast member on a television series since she shot the film. The Carol Burnett show. To say it will be great to have the legend back on the small screen and with a star-studded cast would be an understatement.
In addition to Carol Burnett, Kristen Wiig, Laura Dern and Allison Janney will be joined by Leslie Bibb, Josh Lucas and Ricky Martin. It goes without saying that the streaming service spares no expense when it comes to acquiring production talent. With a group like this so far, I wonder who might be chosen to join the next.
Based on the novel Mr and Mrs American Pie by Juliet McDaniel, set in the 1970s American lady cake will focus on Maxine Simmons, played by Kristen Wiig, a woman looking to secure a spot in the exclusive Palm Beach Corporation. Not surprisingly, the road to get there won’t be that easy. With Carol Burnett’s Norma being a part of high society life, viewers are likely to expect a lot of cheating to happen between the two. And that could lead to some really juicy scenes for the two comedy titans.
The 89-year-old star adds a level of credibility to everything she joins in and her reputation really gets the better of her. In recent years, you have won numerous awards and delivered heartfelt and humorous speeches for each award you win. The comedy legend is definitely there and the cast and crew, including TV star Allison Janney, know how lucky they are to have him.
At the time of writing, no official release date has been announced American lady cake. But while you wait for more production updates, make sure you have an Apple TV + subscription so you can watch Carol Burnett’s long-awaited return on TV.
