Update: New Details Emerge About Ombuds TV Show

Several media outlets are reporting fresh details about the in-production comedy about a university Ombuds co-created and co-written by Whitney Cummings and Lee Daniels. The project now has a name, "Good People," and Lisa Kudrow has signed on to star and be a co-executive producer. There are also more details about the project from the Hollywood Reporter:

Good People is set in a college ombudsman's office, where three generations of women working there "navigate the current cultural climate, the concept of feminism across different generations and the struggle to reconcile socially constructed ideas with current ethical views regarding complex issues such as sex, race, class and gender," per Amazon's logline.

Kudrow's character, Lynn Steele, is the college ombudsman, a tired, mercurial force of nature. She finds herself being seen as out of touch by the younger generation, even though she's been a champion of women her entire career. Cummings will also star in addition to her other duties on the pilot.

The pilot comes from Amazon Studios and Disney's Fox 21 Television Studios (Empire co-creator Daniels is under an overall deal at sister studio 20th TV). Daniels and Cummings co-wrote the pilot, with Daniels set to direct.

Eventually, more details will also be available from the Internet Movie Database. (THR; IMDB.)

Update 5/22/19: Vulture reporting that Greg Kinnear has joined the cast and will play an “incredibly charismatic” philosophy professor who causes problems for Kudrow and Cummings’s characters thanks to his “unorthodox methods of teaching and refusal to acquiesce to ‘PC’ rules.” (Vulture.)
