Wiig will star in the series, while Dern will serve as executive producer. Dern is also eyeing a key role in the show.<\/p>\n

Mrs. American Pie<\/i> is based on the Juliet McDaniel novel and is “a story about gorgeously impossible people.” Wiig plays Maxine Simmons, a woman fighting for a place in Palm Beach high society in the 1970s.<\/p>\n

“As Maxine attempts to cross that impermeable line between the haves and the have-nots, Mrs. American Pie<\/i> 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?'” an official synopsis reads.<\/p>\n

Abe Sylvia serves as writer, executive producer and showrunner, with Tate Taylor as director and executive producer.<\/p>\n

Wiig and Dern previously collaborated on the 2017 film Downsizing<\/i>. Wiig’s most recent TV role was in the Peacock series MacGruber<\/i>, while Dern starred in the HBO series Big Little Lies<\/i>.\n<\/p>\n
