CBS Orders 'Regency' Pilot, a 19th-Century Multi-Cam Family Sitcom

Creator Tara Hernandez—veteran of The Big Bang Theory and Young Sheldon—steers the experiment.

Overview

  • The comedy centers on the upper-middle-class Tillbrook family navigating life, love, and scandal in 19th-century England.
  • Tara Hernandez will write and executive produce the pilot, following her work on Mrs. Davis with Damon Lindelof.
  • Warner Bros. Television is producing the project, which is designed as a period twist on the classic multi-camera format.
  • The pilot will be evaluated for CBS’s 2026–2027 broadcast season, with no casting or series pickup announced yet.
  • The order extends CBS’s active comedy pipeline that includes Eternally Yours, Checkpoint, and Auntie Supreme, while Hernandez also develops a separate Captain Planet adaptation at Netflix with Berlanti Productions and Appian Way.
