CBS has officially ordered Matthew Perry’s remake of Neil Simon’s “The Odd Couple” to pilot, Variety has learned.
The half-hour comedy will star the “Friends” alum as the messy Oscar Madison, the sometimes-friend and sometimes-foil to neat freak Felix Unger. This project marks Perry’s return to multi-camera work, as his recent TV roles have included appearing on “The Good Wife” and “Cougar Town” and starring in the short-lived “Mr. Sunshine.”
Perry, who penned the pilot with “Frasier’s” Joe Keenan, will exec produce along with Eric Tannenbaum and Kim Tannenbaum and Carl Beverly and Sarah Timberman.
