Krysten Ritter, who toplined NBC’s comedy pilot Assistance last season, is back as the star of another NBC/Universal TV half-hour pilot. Ritter is finalizing a deal for Mission Control, from executive producers Adam McKay and Will Ferrell and writer David Hornsby. Ritter also will serve as a producer on the project, said to be in the tone of Anchorman. The workplace ensemble is set in 1962 and examines what happens when a strong woman (Ritter) butts heads with a macho astronaut in the race to land on the moon.
