Bounce is producing the series in partnership with MGM. The 16-episode sitcom is executive produced by Alyson Fouse, who doubles up as showrunner. Alyson was also its creator. Ken Ornstein is a co-executive producer, while Barry Poznick, Bradley Gardner, and Mark Burnett are producers.
“The opportunity to do Act Your Age with Kym, Tisha and Yvette on Bounce, a network that has made me feel so comfortable being my authentic self, means the world to me,” said Fouse. “We’ve built a world where the stories of Black women in the prime of their lives can be both funny and heartfelt; a world where individually they shine but they also show support for one another.”
The production of the comedy has started in Los Angeles and will premiere on Bounce in the spring of 2023.
