Fox’s brand new comedy series The Mick premieres tonight and we have the scoop on star Kaitlin Olson and the other cast members.
Kaitlin is best known for her work on the hit series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia and she’s assuming the title role in the new series.
She plays a “brash, two-bit hustler from Rhode Island who has spent her entire life shirking any semblance of responsibility. Her lack of drive is complemented by a constant search for the next easy payday. But Mickey is not without her charms. She’s smart, she’s fun, and despite all appearances, her head’s always in the game. She just needs a big win.”
That win kinda, sorta comes true when, looking for a handout, Mickey visits her estranged sister and billionaire brother-in-law in Greenwich, CT, but gets more than she bargained for, as this absurdly rich couple flees the country to escape federal fraud charges. In a surprising turn of events, Mickey must assume guardianship of their three high-maintenance and ill-parented children.
Being a mother was never in Mickey’s game plan, but these kids desperately need a parent. And as irresponsible as Mickey has been her entire life, she may discover that responsibility and motherhood aren’t the buzzkill she always thought they would be.
The Mick will air on Tuesday nights at 8:30pm following tonight’s premiere.
