Kathryn Hahn and Kristen Johnston will star as Eddie and Patsy in Fox Television’s AbFab, according to Variety.

The show is the American version of the British comedy Absolutely Fabulous, which will be relocated to Los Angeles. The original UK series was developed by Jennifer Saunders, who co-starred in the show along with Joanna Lumley.

Hahn played Gloria in the Broadway revival of Boeing-Boeing, and recently appeared in the film Revolutionary Road. Johnston’s stage credits include Scarcity, The Women, Twelfth Night, Aunt Dan and Lemon, and The Lights, and she is a two-time Emmy Award winner for Third Rock from the Sun.
