Fran Drescher is set to make a sitcom comeback with a new series, Happily Divorced, for US cable channel TV Land.
Drescher will play L.A. florist Fran (Drescher) as she deals with dating after finding out her real-estate husband of 18 years is gay. The series is based loosely on Drescher’s real life.
Also appearing in the series are John Michael Higgins, Tichina Arnold and Rita Moreno.
The series will screen in the US on TV Land which has had success with Hot in Cleveland and Retired at 35 with George Segal, Jessica Walter and Johnathan McClain -the latter has just been renewed.
TV Land has also greenlit The Exes about three divorced men who live together in an apartment across the hall from their divorce attorney, starring Donald Faison, Wayne Knight, David Alan Basche and Kristen Johnston.
Drescher’s last sitcom was Living with Fran.

@Swill699 – very well aware. Just because Lucille did it, that makes it ok?
will def be watching if it airs here. I still watch the nanny everyday on foxtel!!!!! almost up to the wedding!!! then right when it ends we go back to season 1. that way it lasts forever!!!! go Fran!
@Shelley- do you know about Lucille Ball?
I still watch The Nanny episodes on Youtube (every episode is there) and I also just bought the DVDs so it’s safe to say I think Fran rocks!
I like Fran- she’s funny and easy to watch when looking for a braindead half hour of entertainment. Love you Franny!
I like Fran. She seems like a really lovely, down to earth lady.
She was sooooo hot in the Nanny…….bring her back
So I like Fran but why is it that she plays a character also called Fran in every series she makes???
No thanks.
tomothy, Australia did get Living With Fran, but it aired in the early hours of the morning on Nine so no one really knew about it.
I wonder if Australia will get this, unlike her last show, Living With Fran. Pity it has John Michael Higgins, really cannot stand him in most things.
TV Land seem to be bringing back a lot of the 90’s sitcom stars these days, good to seem them back too.. well most of them. Will be good to see Wayne Knight and Kristen Johnston together again.
Recent Hot in Clevelands have been like a Frasier reunion for the female cast with Wendy Malik, Jane Leeves, Peri Gilpin, and the woman who played Daphne’s mother.
I could watch Rita Moreno in anything.
All we need is for Fran to sing that horrible ‘Friday’ song and the space time continuum will implode.
