CBS and studio Warner Bros. Television are keeping the cast of The Big Bang Theory busy.
Co-star Melissa Rauch, who plays Howard’s wife, Bernadette, on TV’s No. 1 comedy, is teaming with her husband for a comedy set up at CBS, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.
The network has handed out a script commitment to multicamera comedy If We’re Not Married by 30, which Rauch and her husband/writing partner, Winston Rauch, will co-pen. The Warner Bros. Television comedy centers on a guy who comes to collect on a pre-teen promise made by his childhood best friend — whom he hasn’t seen in more than a decade.

Melissa and Winston Rauch, who will co-executive produce the comedy, also co-wrote Sony Pictures Worldwide’s feature film The Bronze. The duo — with Mark and Jay Duplass — also exec produced the film, in which the Big Bang Theory actress starred as a foul-mouthed former gymnastics bronze medalist who must fight for her local celebrity status when a young athlete’s star rises in town.

Married by 30 marks the second sale for a Big Bang Theory player this development season. CBS is also teaming with series regular Kevin Sussman (Stuart) for Sony Pictures Television’s multicam comedy Wife of Crime.
