Matthew Broderick Cast In New NBC Comedy “Beach Lane”

Matthew Broderick has landed his own television sitcom.

The Ferris Bueller’s Day Off star is making the transition to the small screen in Beach Lane, a new comedy premiering on NBC next fall.

The father of three — who is married to actress Sarah Jessica Parker — will play celebrity author who is hired to revive a flagging small-town newspaper, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Broderick was approached for the role last year, but only agreed to star in the series after reading the final script.
