Jermaine Fowler, Quinta Brunson, Larry Wilmore Unite for CBS Comedy

Jermaine Fowler will return to CBS, says Variety.

The former "Superior Donuts" star-along with Quinta Brunson and Larry Wilmore-has landed a pilot commitment for a multi-camera comedy.

Titled "Quinta & Jermaine," the series will star Fowler and Brunson as childhood best friends who find themselves expecting a child while navigating adulthood. Fowler, Brunson, and Wilmore will all write and executive produce the project.

Fowler starred as Franco Wicks on "Superior Donuts" for CBS for two seasons alongside Judd Hirsch, Katey Sagal, David Koechner, Maz Jobrani, and Rell Battle. He recently appeared in the film "Sorry to Bother You," and on the HBO comedy series "Crashing." Fowler is also a well-received stand up comedian.

Brunson rose to prominence with her video series "The Girls Who's Never Been on a Nice Date." Her success led to a partnership with BuzzFeed, where she developed shows like "Broke," "Up for Adoption," and "Quinta vs. Everything." She was also cast in a lead role in The CW pilot "The End of the World as We Know It" and regularly tours performing stand up comedy.

Wilmore is known for his time on "The Daily Show," from which he got his own Comedy Central series, "The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore." He currently hosts "Larry Wilmore: Black on the Air." Wilmore is also an active producer, co-creating and serving as a consulting producer on HBO's "Insecure." He also served as executive producer and showrunner on the first 13 episodes of ABC's "Black-ish." His previous credits include "The Bernie Mac Show" and "The PJs."
