The Office's Jenna Fischer has been cast alongside Matt LeBlanc in a new CBS comedy pilot, reports Variety. She'll play Andi, wife to Adam (LeBlanc), who decides to return to her old job as a medical lab technician; Adam thus agrees to take on the parenting role, with the comedy revolving around the ex-contractor's discovery that raising kids is a lot tougher than he was expecting.
Fischer's largely remained within the bounds of television since The Office ended in 2013; she's currently starring across from Rob Lowe in You, Me, and the Apocalypse, as well as landing an extended guest spot on detective series The Mysteries of Laura.
LeBlanc, of course, will be shooting the pilot amongst his new stint as Top Gear host; the star most recently hit South Africa with rapper Tinie Tempah for a shoot for the upcoming series.
The new series of Top Gear looks to be premiering 22 May.
