CBS has ordered its first pilot of the 2027-28 development cycle, a comedy about a would-be stage actress — that comes with a bit of a twist. There’s just one teeny, tiny, totally inconsequential difference — our hero Hilda is a 70-year-old woman from Nebraska with absolutely no experience.” Should the pilot make it to series, it would become part of a growing crop of TV and streaming series centered on older characters. CBS is also going into the 2026-27 season with fewer comedies than it has had for most of the past two decades. Caldwell is the writer and executive produces with Will Graham, Max Linsky and Tonia Davis for Invitation Media.
