The project centers on the aftermath when an adult daughter publicly calls out her semi-estranged mother for all the horrors she's inflicted throughout her life. Mom moves in and refuses to leave until they work it all out.
Fonda would also serve as an executive producer on the comedy. "Pushing Daisies" and "John From Cincinnati" vet Abby Gewanter will write and co-executive produce the project, with Scott Ellis ("Weeds," "2 Broke Girls") directing as well as executive-producing.
Former "Smallville" and "One Tree Hill" executive producer Mike Tollin will also executive produce.
