“The Office” star Jenna Fischer has signed on to star in “A Little Help,” a dramedy directed by Michael J. Weithorn, creator of “King of Queens.”

Variety says the plot follows a widowed single mother who reconnects with her sister’s husband, an old fame of hers.

Weithorn also wrote the script for the project, which the trade says will head into production early next year.

On the big screen, Fischer recently appeared in “Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story” and “The Promotion.” She’s also gearing up to star in “Solitary Man.”
