NCIS’ Sasha Alexander Returns To CBS For The Karenskys

NCIS alumna Sasha Alexander has been cast as the star of the multicamera comedy pilot The Karenskys on CBS says The Hollywood Reporter. The project, from Malcolm in the Middle creator Linwood Boomer, centers on Emily Atwood (Alexander), who returns to her hometown when her husband’s job relocates them and is reunited with her large, eccentric family. Although she is comfortable with her family’s intrusiveness, constant arguing and impulsive behavior, Emily is aware that her husband is far less so. Also cast in the pilot is Tinsley Grimes as Anne-Marie Karensky, the wife of Emily’s brother “Little Max” Karensky, who has given birth to seven children in six years. Alexander played Caitlin “Kate” Todd for two years on CBS’ hit crime drama NCIS.
