Anjelah Johnson could be headed back to television in the near future…
NBC has put in development We The People, a comedy project starring the 34-year-old half-Mexican American comedian, actress and former MadTV star.
From Universal Television and Ed Helms’ Pacific Electric Picture Company, the project was written by former Key and Peele writer-producer Charlie Sanders.
Set in the Los Angeles office of a federal agency, We The People centers on case officer Malory Ruiz (Johnson), who alongside a diverse group of co-workers, helps people gain their citizenship, while just trying to make it to five o’clock.
Johnson’s previous television credits include appearances on Ugly Betty, while her film credits include Moms’ Night Out, Enough Said and Our Family Wedding.
