Mayim Bialik

The good news about Mayim Bialik keeps on coming!

Just 10 days after we found out the formerBlossomandBig Bang Theorystar is making amoviebased on her own life — which sounds almost too good to be true  — we learn she's about to star in a new TV show.

That's right,for those of you who've been missing the brilliant Jewish actress afterBig Bang Theoryended this May,we're happy to report that Bialik is coming back to TV with a brand new sitcom calledCarla.Cue in the celebratorydancing!

Not only that,she is collaborating on the new show with formerBig Bang Theoryco-star Jim Parsons.That's right,"Shamy"(that's an amalgam for Sheldon and Amy,the iconic couple the two actors portrayed) is back… though,alas,only behind the scenes.While Bialik will be starring in the show — which is based upon the charming British sitcom,Miranda —Parsons is only taking on a behind-the-scenes role,as co-executive producer,along with Bialik.

Carlawill star Bialik as 39-year-old Carla (duh!) the owner of a cat cafe (OK,LOVE!) in Louisville,Kentucky.According toDeadline,Carla "struggles every day against society and her mother to prove that you cannothave everything you want and still be happy." We're so down with that!

Carlawill premiere on Fox in the fall of 2020,which,honestly,can't come soon enough.

While we're waiting,if you're trying to picture what this show will be like,the good news is that you can stream all ofMirandaonHulu.The super-popular BBC comedy,which ran from 2009 to 2015,starred Miranda Hart (whom we also love inCall the Midwife) as a quirky joke shop owner.So there's plenty for you to binge while you count down the days for next fall!

Mazel tov to Mayim and the whole gang!We're so excited!
