NBC orders show from '30 Rock' actress Tina Fey w/ 'Office' star Ellie Kemper cast as lead straight to series

NBC has decided to move a new Tina Fey-written show straight to series, starring The Office alumnus Ellie Kemper in the lead. According to a press release from the network, Kemper will star as a young woman who "escapes from a doomsday cult and starts life over in New York City."

As of now this project doesn't even have a title so we shouldn't expect to see it until the 2014 fall schedule. That said, it seems like a very promising project considering Fey's success with 30 Rock and Kemper's rising star status.

"Tina and [writing partner Robert Carlock], who cemented their partnership on 30 Rock, have created a new signature comedy for us that is audacious, emotional, and clever," said NBC Entertainment Chairman Robert Greenblatt. "While tapping into very relatable themes, there isn't anything like this anywhere else on television. NBC has been their home for many years and we're so happy that they've found another way to push the comedy envelope for us."

The NBC Entertainment president, Jennifer Salke, explained why this show has already been ordered for a full season.

"Original voices like Tina and Robert don't come along very often and we wanted them back on the air as soon as possible," she said. "And to have them working with Ellie Kemper - who we watched grow up on The Office from supporting player to leading actress - puts the whole package together. We feel fortunate to be in business with this entire creative team on something so funny, unique, and attention-getting."
