Casey Wilson will star opposite Busy Philipps' in a NBC comedy pilot from Tina Fey, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The Sackett Sisters follows two estranged sisters, Sutton (Wilson) and Maddy (Philipps), who perform an act of public heroism and must navigate the aftermath together. Unlike Maddy, who is described as "the family's living embodiment of their failure," Sutton has built a normal, mundane life for herself far, far away from her family. Bradley Whitford will also star in the comedy as the sisters' father, Henry Sackett.

Wilson's previous credits include Happy Endings, Marry Me, One Mississippiand Saturday Night Live. She also co-hosts a successful Real Housewives podcast, Bitch Sesh.
