UPDATE: NBC has officially announced Elfman's involvement in the series.

The midseason comedy follows Mel Fisher (Simmons), a blind lawyer whose divorce from Joyce (Elfman) winds up bringing the family together. Ava Deluca-Verley plays Katie, Mel and Joyce's teen daughter and Eli Baker stars as Henry, their 11-year-old son. Henry's life is turned upside down when his parents divorce and his father gets a guide dog.

"Arrested Development" star Jason Bateman provides the voice-over for "Growing Up Fisher." "Friends" star David Schwimmer directed the pilot.

Elfman is best known for her series "Dharma and Greg" and recently co-starred in NBC's "1600 Penn."

"Growing Up Fisher" is scheduled to debut on NBC midseason. See what HuffPost TV's staff had to say about the series here.
