Two-time Emmy and Tony Award-winning actress Andrea Martin will join the previously reported Cheyenne Jackson and Nathan Lane in a USA Network comedy pilot, according to a report on Deadline.com. Douglas McGrath will write and direct the now untitled pilot, which had been previously called On We Go.

The show will center on an unlucky actor named Jasper (Lane), who, after his father’s health takes a turn for the worse, must put his Broadway aspirations on hold while he returns to his Texas hometown.

Martin will play the potentially recurring role of Jasper’s agent Peggy. Jackson will play a Texan doctor who befriends Lane’s character upon his return home. The cast will also include Ken Jenkins as Jasper’s father.
