Kristin Chenoweth is headed to Disney+ where she is set to star in and executive produce a comedy series called The Biggest Star in Appleton. The project is in the early stages of development at the streaming platform.
The single-camera series comes from 20th Century Fox TV which as you know is now part of Disney Television Studios. Paul Rudnick (In & Out, Adams Family Values) is the creator of the sitcom which stars Chenoweth as Carol Dannhauser a mother, wife and waitress in Appleton, Wisconsin who becomes a bit of a local celebrity thanks in part to her community theater. However, Carol’s meteoric rise of local stardom is jeopardized with a New York chorus girl moves back home with dreams of her own. Rudnick, Chenoweth and Dan Jinks (Milk, American Beauty) will executive produce. The project marks a reunion for Chenoweth and Jinks, who served as an exec producer on ABC’s Pushing Daisies, for which Chenoweth won an Emmy in 2009. Jinks and Rudnick previously worked together on the TV Land pilot I Shudder.
Chenoweth is no stranger to working with Disney. She recently played the role of Maleficent, the supervillain and mother of Mal, the main character in the popular Descendants franchise!
