After several experienced years in the big screen, actor Matthew Broderick will have a taste of the silver screen.

The Ferris Bueller’s Day Off actor is attached to star in NBC’s comedy pilot that was given the green light Monday and will be titled Beach Lane. In the series, 48-year-old Broderick will play the character of a celebrity author hired by an irresponsible millionaire heir to run his struggling small-town newspaper in the Hamptons.

The sitcom will be produced by Universal Media Studios, Lorne Michaels’ Broadway Video and writer Paul Simms. Michaels will also act as an executive producer with Marci Klein.

Will Broderick’s tv debut be as successful as his wife, Sarah Jessica Parker’s popular series Sex and the City? Let’s just wait and see… and keep those fingers crossed!
