Carol Burnett to star in "Mrs. American Pie"

More laughs: The queen of comedy television will soon return to the medium in a big way.

Six-time Emmy winner Carol Burnett ("The Carol Burnett Show") has put in a few TV appearances over the past few years, both in TV movies and in guest-starring roles. The most surprising of which may be her guest appearance in the second half of "Better Caul Saul's" final season, now airing on AMC ("I'm thrilled to be a part of my favorite show," Burnett said of the casting).

But while the beloved entertainer has proven she's just as adept at drama as she is with comedy, she'll likely make us laugh with her next role — also her return as a TV series regular.

Burnett will soon star opposite Kristen Wiig ("Bridesmaids," 2011) in the upcoming Apple TV series "Mrs. American Pie."

Created by "Dead to Me" producer Abe Sylvia and based on a novel by Juliet McDaniel, the 10-episode comedy is set in the early 1970s and was ordered straight to series earlier this year. It follows Wiig's character, Maxine Simmons, as she attempts to secure her seat at America's "most exclusive table": Palm Beach high society.

According to Apple, the series "asks the same questions that still baffle us today: 'Who gets a seat at the table? How do you get a seat at the table? What will you sacrifice to get there?' Set during the powder keg era of the early 1970s, 'Mrs. American Pie' is a testament to every outsider fighting for their chance at superficial greatness."

In addition to Burnett and Wiig, the series' star-studded cast includes Grammy winner Ricky Martin ("American Crime Story: The Assassination of Gianni Versace") and Oscar winners Allison Janney ("I, Tonya," 2017) and Laura Dern ("Marriage Story," 2019).

The series was developed by Dern and her producing partner Jayme Lemons ("Enlightened") via their Jaywalker Pictures banner.

Snow show: The Hollywood Reporter was the first to break the news that a "Game of Thrones" spinoff series is in early development at HBO and that it will center on Jon Snow (Kit Harington, "Eternals," 2021).

The best part is: Harington is reportedly set to reprise his role as the viewer favorite.

After the news was leaked, both Harington and HBO declined official comment. But on his blog, author George R.R. Martin confirmed that, "Yes, there is a Jon Snow show in development," and that Harington himself provided the idea for the spinoff, which has the (rather straightforward) working title "Snow."

In an interview last month with BBC, actress Emilia Clarke, who played Daenerys in the original series, said she already knew about it: "It's been created by Kit as far as I can understand, so he's in it from the ground up. So what you will be watching, hopefully, if it happens, is certified by Kit Harington."

"Snow" (w.t.) is one of four live-action "Game of Thrones" successor shows that are currently in development. Each one is in the script stage and, according to Martin, Harington even brought in a team of writers and showrunners to work on the project.

That said, even Martin acknowledged there's no guarantee any of the four proposed series will make it to air, saying, "Please note: nothing has been green-lit yet and there is no guarantee when or if it will be ... on any of these shows. The likelihood of all four series getting on the air ... well, I'd love it, but that's not the way it works, usually."

As for the spinoff that will make it to air, "House of the Dragon" is set to premiere on Aug. 21.

CW's new Archie: Though "Riverdale" is set to wrap after its upcoming seventh season, it seems CW isn't quite done with the Archie Comics universe.

"Jake Chang" is reportedly in development at CW and hails from "Chilling Adventures of Sabrina" alumni Oanh Ly and Viet Nguyen. Described as a soapy teen drama with "a neon-noir esthetic," the Asian American-led mystery centers on 16-year-old private investigator Jake Chang as he "navigates the racially and socioeconomically diverse worlds of his ever-gentrifying home of Chinatown, and the elite private high school he attends" (according to The Hollywood Reporter).

"We are so proud and honored to be a part of this new wave of Asian American content created by and starring Asian Americans," Ly and Nguyen said in a joint statement.

They described the world of Jake Chang as "vast, compelling and a whole lot of fun," and pledged to flip nearly every Asian stereotype and familiar trope on its head to "tell a unique Asian American story."

Even if you're an avid reader of Archie Comics, you might not know who Jake Chang is. He's an all-new character whose existence was only revealed when a trademark application was submitted in February. He'll be making his comic debut later this month in the Betty and Veronica "Mystery of the Missing Mermaid" story.

In the meantime, there are reportedly no plans to introduce him to TV audiences by having him appear in "Riverdale," as the new production is being developed as a stand-alone series.
