Alyssa Milano has joined the CBS comedy pilot “What Goes Around Comes Around,” TheWrap has learned.

Milano will star alongside Jason Lee in the pilot as his wife. She will play Robin while Lee will play Kenny. Kenny and Robin, who were wild and reckless teenagers, now face their worst nightmare: raising three teenagers of their own.

Currently, Milano is the host and a judge on Lifetime’s “Project Runway All Stars.” Also, she has her own clothing, jewelry and eyewear line, Touch by Alyssa Milano.

In addition, Milano entered the world of graphic novels with “Hacktivist,” a cyber-thriller that follows the young founders of an innovative social media company who moonlight as a secret black-hat hacker team.

Dan Kopelman will write the series in addition to serving as executive producer. Aaron Kaplan will also executive produce. Warner Bros. Television will produce the pilot in association with Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment.

Kopelman is known for his work on the comedies “Malcolm in the Middle” and “Rules of Engagement.” Kaplan, an executive producer on the NBC series “Mysteries of Laura,” previously worked as an executive producer on “Instant Mom.”

Milano is represented by CAA.
