Sarah Solemani and Kerry Howard reunite for BBC1 sitcom
Sarah Solemani and Kerry Howard are working together on a new BBC One sitcom project.
The Radio Times reveals that the duo are creating a female-centric comedy for the BBC's flagship channel.
Howard told the magazine: "I'm writing a sitcom with Sarah Solemani for BBC One. It's an all female sitcom. That's all I can say!"
This mystery new project will act as a reunion for the two actresses. Both previously appeared in the critically acclaimed BBC Three comedy Him & Her, with Solemani playing the sensible but lazy Becky, whilst Howard was Becky's rude, controlling and angry sister Laura.
The magazine notes: "Though details on their new comedy are sparse, it's clear the actresses, who are both new mums, are keen to stay in the limelight post-Him & Her."
Howard elaborated: "We've got a moment in time. If we sat at home and were full time mums we'd miss out on this window of opportunity. I've worked really hard to get to this level - it feels silly to sit back. Telly's fickle - it's not like a normal job where you can have your six months off - people kind of forget you.
"It's so funny. Sarah's got a baby as well so we met in town and did a bit of writing. Then she had an audition so I looked after her baby with my baby. Then she came back and we did a bit more work. And then I had an audition so then she looked after Wesley! We're both pretty supportive about making it happen and helping each other."
Solemani will next be seen in Series 2 of The Wrong Mans. Meanwhile Howard, who can currently be seen in new sitcom Give Out Girls, is working with her brother on a new rom-com project.
Howard has also landed a BBC Three pilot. Talking to Entertainment Focus, she explained: "It's one of the last pilots they're commissioning," adding "It's written by two amazing writers who wrote on my sketch show Kerry."
