Here is the news the girls have been hinting about on twitter! It’s very exciting!!

Acting/singing duo Aly Michalka and AJ Michalka may star together in a comedy series next. The two sisters topline a half-hour project, which has sold to Fox. It hails from writers Matt Dearborn and Adam Goldberg, Happy Madison and Sony Pictures TV.

On the untitled single-camera comedy, which has received a script commitment, Aly and AJ Michalka will play versions of themselves. Finally out of the house and into their first apartment, Aly and AJ’s exciting new lives are interrupted when their mother unexpectedly moves in with them.  Breaking In co-creator Goldberg and Zeke and Luther co-creator Dearborn will write the script and executive produce with Happy Madison’s Doug Robinson. Aly and AJ Michalka will serve as co-producers.

The two sisters first hit stardom as pop rock duo Aly & AJ (now 78violet). They made their acting debut as the stars of the Disney original movie Cow Belles, which was co-written by Dearborn. The two also co-starred together in MTV’s Super Sweet 16: The Movie. Additionally, AJ recurred on the CW drama Hellcats which starred Aly. The Fox comedy project extends Aly’s relationship with Happy Madison — she just wrapped the company’s Grown Ups movie sequel for Sony Pictures. AJ recently wrapped the indie feature Jesus In Cowboy Boots. Aly and AJ Michalka are repped by CAA and just signed with Principato-Young Entertainment.

The new project reunites WME-repped Goldberg with Fox where he and Seth Gordon created comedy series Breaking In, also produced by Sony TV and Happy Madison, on which Dearborn served as a consulting producer. The network also bought a period comedy pitch from Goldberg, Happy Madison and Sony TV last year.

So what do you guys think? I think it’s an excellent opportunity for the girls so fingers crossed it doesn’t fall through like some previous projects. I have to say I’m intriguded by the idea that they will be playing themselves. And the fact that the show is a comedy is a bonus. Can’t wait to see the girls show off their comedy skills.

Does this mean the new album is put on the back-burner, again.

@AAFan Hopefully not! By the sounds of things the pilot hasn’t been written/finished yet. They will still need to do a lot of preparation before they can start filming. As far as I know they are still going back to the studio in October to get back to recording and maybe finishing the album. If they finish the album for the end of the year we could have both a show and a new album at the same time. Only time will tell.
