Greg Poehler Tapped for New DirecTV Comedy YOU ME HER

The Hollywood Reporter shares exclusively that 'Welcome to Sweden' star Greg Poehler will lead a new DIRECTV comedy from John Scott Shepherd. Titled YOU ME HER, the show will feature Rachel Blanchard in the female lead.

The 10-episode comedy series will follow "Jack (Poehler) and Emma (Blanchard), a happily married couple who are coming off several years of "baby sex" and fertility struggles. A waning sex life and a sequence of surprising turns are about to spin their relationship in a direction neither could have possibly imagined."

Shepherd will will write the scripts and serve as executive producer oof the series, from Entertainment One Television. Golden Globe winner Nisha Ganatra will helm all 10 episodes of the comedy, set to air on DirecTV's Audience Network.

Commented Shepherd, "I was such a fan of Welcome to Sweden, the casting process for Jack ended the second I knew Greg was available. In my opinion, he's one of the best naturalistic 'everyman' comedic actors in the business. I was a fan of Rachel's long before her wonderful turn in Fargo, especially the amazing British comedy Peep Show. We're aiming very high with You Me Her, and I feel like Greg and Rachel are Jack and Emma Trakarsky."

Last month, NBC announced that it was canceling the Poehler led Welcome to Sweden.
