Better With You star JoAnna Garcia Swisher is set as the female lead in CBS’ untitled Greg Malins/Greg Berlanti comedy pilot, reuniting with Better With You executive producer/co-showrunner Malins.

The multi-camera project, from Warner Bros. TV and studio-based Berlanti Prods., centers on Nick who has a health scare and realizes that Wendy (Garcia Swisher), his best friend and business partner of 15 years, is ‘the one’. Now he has to figure out how to break it to her.

Malins and Berlanti wrote the script and executive produce.

This marks the third consecutive WBTV pilot for Garcia Swisher following Privileged and Better With You, both of which went to series. She also did an arc on the studio’s CW drama Gossip Girl. It also marks the latest multi-camera comedy for Garcia who started off on the WB’s Reba.

Earlier this season, Garcia was attached to a Warner Bros. TV multi-camera comedy project written by Better With You creator/exec producer Shana Goldberg-Meehan. The family comedy sparked a bidding war before landing at ABC with a production commitment but ultimately didn’t go to pilot, making WME-repped Garcia Swisher available. She immediately received multiple offers, choosing the Malins/Berlanti pilot.

We just chatted with Jennifer Morrison at the American Music Awards yesterday, and not only did she admit that they have seen our Once Upon a Time Dream Cast gallery, but apparently they’re taking one of our ideas and running with it!

“They are after Joanna Garcia for one of the roles, which would be amazing,” Morrison reveals. And while she wouldn’t say which character they want for Garcia, we hear that OUAT is pursuing a storyline for Ariel from The Little Mermaid, so let’s just put two and two together, shall we?

OK, they might have come up with this casting choice before our gallery, but it makes us so feel so much cooler if we just believe that they are listening to our casting choices. Plus, Morrison told us that they were big fans of our gallery.

“E! just did this thing where they [picked] their ideal cast, which was cool. That was really fun!” she says. “We were all like, ‘Oh my gosh, that it really fun to look at!’”

But we’re not the only ones dreaming up casting choices for OUAT. Morrison also has her eye on a certain somebody. “I would love for Rose Byrne to be on the show at some point,” she tells us. “I feel like she’d be an amazing, amazing fairy-tale character.” We are absolutely on board with this casting choice, but who would you pick for her fairy-tale character?

Need one more thing to get excited about? A OUAT musical episode could definitely happen! “We all sing,” Morrison says. “Josh Dallas, Ginny Goodwin, me. I don’t know if Robert Carlyle sings. He probably does. I feel like we have a lot of musically inclined people in the cast. We’ll see!”
