Remini will play Jean in the as-yet unnamed comedy, a lesbian raising her family with her ex-husband and new wife. As a conservative woman, Jean believes everyone has a right to go about their private business – particularly when it comes to her family life and her ex living in her garage.

The show’s creator Rob McElhenney is a vocal supporter of the LGBTIQ+ community. Raised in a rainbow family himself, he frequently attends Pride celebrations with his wife Kaitlyn Olson and other Sunny cast mates Danny DeVito, Charlie Day and Glenn Howerton.

I’m so proud of my mothers, my brothers, my friends and everyone else who has had the courage to come out to the world. To those who are struggling to do the same: know that there are billions of us who have your back. You. Are. Loved. When you’re ready, we’re here. #pride🌈
