Kirstie Alley And John Travolta To Reunite On Her New TV Land Sitcom
Exactly two decades after their final installment of Look Who’s Talking, Kirstie Alley and John Travolta are reuniting for a new series on TV Land. Earlier this week, it was announced that Alley would produce and star in the series titled Kirstie, and already, she’s landed her former on-screen love Travolta as a guest star.
In the series, Travolta will play a stagehand on the set of Alley’s character Maddie’s Broadway show. During the special reunion episode, Alley’s character and Travolta’s character hit it off and have a fling but when it comes time to part ways, Travolta isn’t ready to say goodbye.
According to The Futon Critic, Travolta’s episode will be shot in early August and air sometime after the show’s December 4th premiere.
Of the reunion with Alley, Travolta said, “I’m excited about working with Kirstie again, in addition to such terrific talent on the show. It’s always a treat to be surrounded by people you respect so much both personally and professionally.”
Below is a snippet of the press release regarding Alley’s new show:
“Kirstie’s New Show” revolves around Madison “Maddie” Banks, a renowned Broadway star who finds her life turned upside down when Arlo (Petersen), the son she gave up at birth, suddenly appears hoping to connect after his adoptive parents have died. However, Maddie doesn’t exactly see nerdy and schlubby Arlo fitting in with her luxurious lifestyle. But when Maddie’s assistant and best friend, Thelma (Rhea Perlman), and outlandish driver Frank (Michael Richards) encourage her to give Arlo a chance, Maddie is shocked to find that perhaps she has motherly instincts after all.
