A new comedy project staring and produced by Tea Leoni is in serious consideration for a pilot pickup at the pay cable network, whose biggest comedy hit was the female-centered Sex and the City. Like Sex and the City, the Tea Leoni comedy, tentatively titled Spring/Fall, also takes place in New York City. It is set against the backdrop of New York’s fashion world and stars Leoni as half of a dysfunctional partnership between two women with different approaches to career, family, and friendship. Kate Robin who was a writer/producer on HBO’s Six Feet Under, wrote the script.
This is a nice get for HBO: for the past decade, Leoni has been probably the most consistently pursued comedic actress for pilots on broadcast and cable but had declined to return to TV until now. With the exception of a guest spot on her husband’s Fox drama The X-Files in 2000, Leoni, repped by UTA and Mosaic, has not done television since the end of her NBC comedy series The Naked Truth in 1998.

What a difference six months can make! Last October, X-Files star David Duchovny and his wife, Téa Leoni, announced that their 11-year marriage was history.
But the couple looked more in love than ever during a romantic getaway on the exotic Caribbean island of Mustique.
“They had dinner at 9 p.m., and David had his arm around Téa just about the entire time they were sitting there,” an eyewitness at Basil’s Bar and Restaurant on March 25 tells Star.

“I saw them kiss each other tenderly on the lips twice at the table. They certainly seemed to be totally in love with each other.
“There were a few bottles of Corona beer on the table, and David and Téa looked really happy, holding hands and laughing.”
The romantic scene would have been inconceivable last October, when the pair (they have two children, daughter West, 9, and son Miller, 6) announced they were separating, due in part to David’s admitted sex addiction.
David, who plays a sex-crazed writer on his critically acclaimed Showtime series, Californication, announced in August, “I have voluntarily entered a facility for the treatment of sex addiction. I ask for respect and privacy for my wife and children as we deal with this situation as a family.”
