Pilot Season: Ugly Betty Alum Michael Urie to Co-Star in CBS' Partners
Michal Urie
Ugly Betty's Michael Urie is returning to television in the CBS pilot Partners.
The comedy pilot tells the personal story of two lifelong friends and business partners — one straight and one gay (Urie) — whose friendship has lasted longer than any of their romantic relationships. When one decides to propose to his girlfriend (Sophia Bush), the other's neurotic attempts to be supportive nearly result in a breakup.

Will & Grace duo David Kohan and Max Mutchnick will executive-produce Partners.
