It’s never too late to cheer on the home team: Heroes alum Ali Larter will star as a 40-year-old mom who decides to pursue her lifelong dream of becoming a pro football cheerleader in a new Fox sitcom, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
The single-camera comedy, titled The Sidelines, follows Larter’s character — a newly separated Detroit mom — as she makes the cheerleading squad of her local football team “and becomes the accidental den mother to a group of scrappy, resilient young women, rediscovering herself in the process,” per the official description. Larter will also serve as an executive producer.

Heroes alumna Ali Larter is set for key recurring role opposite Jenna Fischer and Oliver Hudson on the second season of ABC comedy series Splitting Up Together, from Warner Bros. TV.
Splitting Up Together stars Fischer and Hudson as Lena and Martin, the couple whose marriage is reinvigorated by their divorce. They still live in the same house, alternating weeks, with one living upstairs and doing the parenting while the other lives downstairs in the guest apartment.

Diane Farr, Lindsay Price, Bobby Lee, Olivia Keville, Van Crosby and Sander Thomas co-star in the comedy from A Very Good Production and Piece of Pie Productions in association with Warner Bros. Television.
