For those missing their weekly dose of Robin Thede, the comedian will soon be a part of your ABC lineup.

The former host of BET's The Rundown with Robin Thede will create and star in a comedy series based on her life. Deadline reports the show, executive produced by Kay Cannon and Doug Robinson, "will explore how a difficult upbringing shaped Robin Sanders (Thede), a famous and successful financial advisor, and will vacillate between the character’s adulthood and childhood as it examines how your past always pops up in the present."

Thede was previously the head writer and a correspondent for The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore.
