This marks Fox’s first comedy series gig and his return to TV where she starred on the drama series Lost.

Written by Brendan O’Brien and directed by James Burrows, Kaelyn’s Second Chance centers on a devoted rookie police officer, Kaelyn (Fox), and her husband, Braedan (Wolf), who are committed to raising their children with the love and support Kaelyn never got as a kid but discover how difficult that is with her transition, insane parents, and studying for medical school.

Fox’s Kaelyn tries her best to be a laid-back, progressive parent like her Chief of Staff husband, but often finds herself reverting to the old school style of her parents. Now that she’s moved back into her childhood home, surrounded by her parents and crazy siblings (Josh Charles and Christina Applegate), finding a balance between these wildly different parenting styles while chasing down criminals as a police officer is going to be more difficult than she ever imagined. But through heart and grace, Kaelyn always comes out on top and without ever breaking a nail.

O’Brien and Fox executive produces with Nick Stoller and Conor Welch. Fox is repped by Zero Gravity Management and attorney Stephen Barnes. Wolf is repped by CNY.

You're three days too early.

I always wanted Bailey and Charlie to fuck.

Brendan O’Brien? The record producer behind Pearl Jam’s “Vs.” and Stone Temple Pilots’ “Purple”? Is this real?

Like there’s only one Brendan O’Brien in the business?

James Burrows, King of Comedy; very hard-working man. Matthew Fox sure takes on big challenges as well; Lost was enormous, I think he wasn't that much into it, and I guess isn't that much into his work, but great lead and great straight man to quirkier and/or less stable main stars.

I can see "Second Chance' on IMDB but can't see anything about Matthew Fox playing a transvestite police officer.

This one is called Kaelyn’s Second Chance, r7. It's not on IMDB yet.

My God, he’s not playing a transvestite, R7. How ignorant are you?

What great news on this International Transgender Day Of Visibility. Finally a reason to sign up for Apple’s new streaming service.

Barf. This sounds cringeworthy.

The transgender community is not going to like the fact they aren't using a transgender woman for the part.

They aren’t using a real transgender for Matt Damon Wayon’s new transgender show either.

This sounds like a fucking April fools joke. Who the hell would want to watch a tranny main character? And could the MULTIPLE references to preserving xer womanly nails be any more 1950s? What a joke.

It says he is trans. But is he playing a trans man or a trans woman.

Was he once a woman who is now a trans man? So Fox will play a dude without a penis?

OP, Hilarious.

Yeah, okay. I guess "Cop who goes to medical school" should have tipped me off.

It's not April Fools day yet

This thread will probably disappear, just as the one about Harvey Feirstein playing Bella Abzug did.

Original title was "Foxy Lady"

YES R3! And then they can do a round 2 spit roast on me with their sloppy dicks! Bailey up front, Charlie bring up the rear!

Fox is 52 years old, the days of playing a rookie cop are long behind him. The premise is too absurd to be real, and anyone who’s read his interviews knows that he’d never work with Scott Wolf again, this is obviously a joke. Please try to make it a bit more believable the next time you make up a story like this.

Tell us more.

When I saw the topic, my first thought was "Jesus, how can this guy get a job in HW?" Remember he's a drunk who beat up the female tram operator in Cleveland? And he's reputed to have violence issues with women per Dominic Monoghan...

I think she's tremendous and also ripped off my name.

Is this just an early April Fools joke?

Yes it's a joke.

Matthew Fox used to be so hot. Then I heard the abuse rumors and he got too much sun and grew old fast.

Too bad, I was looking forward to seeing Matt in drag.

Deadline Hollywood recently posted an article stating that he’s fielding multiple offers from casting agents right now, he’s in high demand, so that actually added legitimacy to this story for me for about 1 second, until I read the description! No way in hell is that a real show.

Thanks, r29. I will try a show because Josh Charles is starring in it. Not so with Foxy.

Huh, news to me.
