Tim Daly and Tea Leoni, the stars of the upcoming NBC comedy pilot 'Newlyweds', are set to portray newlyweds on screen, mirroring their real-life marriage. The show, created by Gail Lerner, centers on a free-spirited woman (Leoni) and a buttoned-up professor (Daly) who embark on a whirlwind courtship and eventually tie the knot. Daly's character, Tony, is a recently divorced man who meets Jeanie (Leoni) at a valet stand, leading to a series of events that bring them together. This isn't the first time Daly and Leoni have collaborated; they met on the set of CBS' 'Madam Secretary' and have been together for over a decade. The pilot will be directed and executive produced by Pam Fryman, known for her work on 'How I Met Your Mother' and 'Happy's Place'. With Daly's Emmy nomination for his role in 'The Sopranos' and his previous work on shows like 'Wings' and 'Private Practice', 'Newlyweds' promises to be a captivating addition to the NBC lineup, blending humor and the complexities of a later-in-life marriage.
