Per Variety, FOX multi-cam comedy pilot Patty’s Auto has cast One on One alum Kyla Pratt.
Inspired by Patrice Banks’ Girls Auto Clinic, with Darlene Hunt (The Big C) developing for television, Patty’s Auto follows an auto repair shop populated by all female mechanics.
Pratt will portray Tiny, the half-sister of shop proprietor Patty. She wears her heart on her sleeve, gives manicures inside the shop, and yearns for people to take her more seriously.
In addition to her role on the UPN sitcom, Pratt’s television credits include Recovery Road, Rel, and Let’s Stay Together. She joins a cast that includes Joanna P. Adler (Devious Maids), Carra Patterson (The Arrangement), Sarah Levy (Schitt’s Creek), and Paola Lazaro (Lethal Weapon).
Patty’s Auto is part of a small comedy pilot roster for FOX that includes relationship vehicle Adam & Eve, which follows the same relationship through three important periods; Geniuses, which stars Jason Biggs and Maggie Lawson as parents to three certified geniuses; and Richard Lovely, about a children’s book author whose most famous character comes to life.
The network has already given series orders to animated comedies Bless the Harts and Duncanville, both likely to debut in the 2019-20 season.
