It looks like Zoey Deschanel can now add TV star to her resume, the actress has inked a deal to star in a new single-camera comedy TV pilot for Fox, from writer-producer Liz Meriwether, 20th TV and studio-based Chernin Entertainment. Deadline reports that Deschanel has been circling both the pilot on Fox and a spot on NBC’s The Office, but has chosen to go with the pilot.

The Liz Meriwether project is currently untitled, but was once called Chicks and Dicks. It’s described as a young ensemble comedy about the sexual politics of men and women. The show will follow “Jessica (Deschanel), an optimistic but unlucky in love elementary school teacher who, after her most recent break-up, moves out of her apartment with her ex and moves in with 3 juvenile guys.”
