Courtney B. Vance & Felicity Huffman will be playing husband and wife in the new ABC political comedy, Libby & Malcolm.
The show comes from Kenya Barris and Vijal Patel and follows a married couple, Malcolm and Libby, played by Vance and Huffman. The blended family series is about two polar opposite political pundits who fall in love despite all odds and form an insta-family as well as a work partnership.
Vance will star as Malcolm Black, a liberal pundit and father of three kids who arms himself with cold hard facts and an irresistible easy charm that wins over everyone he meets. He recently married Libby (Huffman), a strong, brilliant, white Republican who won his heart by knocking him off his feet. Now, they’ll forge a new life together at home against all odds while going head-to-head at work on their fiery new political talk show.
The show is in development but has a pilot production commitment at ABC.
