Deadline.com reports that the actress, who made her Broadway debut in the 2012 revival of Annie, will be one of two leads in the CBS comedy pilot "Angel From Hell."
The half-hour series, from writer and executive producer Tad Quill and CBS TV Studios, is described as such: "When the larger-than-life, brassy and flamboyant Amy (Lynch) enters Allison’s life and claims to be her guardian angel, they form an unlikely friendship, and Allison can’t be sure if Amy is an angel or just nuts."
Lynch is the recipient of Emmy Awards for her work in "Glee" and as host of "Hollywood Game Night."
