CBS has announced that they are developing a reboot of the classic series The Honeymooners, this time with a female-driven cast and story.

Damon Wayans Jr. (Happy Endings, Let’s Be Cops) is executive-producing the series, which is described as “a bold, female-driven reboot of the iconic working-class comedy centered around new wife Ruth and her husband Alex who are determined to have a marriage where they are true equals in every way. But what happens when a marriage has two heads of the household? Are they co-heads? Or no head at all?”

The series is being written by Lindsey Shockley (Mixed-ish), and it’s set to be directed by Kelly Park (Country Comfort). Shockley and Park will executive produce with Wayans Jr. and Kameron Tarlow of Two Shakes Entertainment.

Does this sound like a series you may want to check out?
