Keri Russell to Star Opposite Will Arnett in Fox Sitcom

at .

Keri Russell is returning to TV... and the news gets even better from there!

The former Felicity star, who has not appeared on a show since that beloved series ended in 2002, will star opposite Will Arnett in a Fox sitcom produced by Arrested Development creator Mitch Hurwitz.

While the deal isn't signed yet, Michael Ausiello reports that Russel is in final negotiations to portray Arnett’s love interest in Wilde Kingdom, a new single-camera romantic comedy that focuses on Steve Wilde (Arnett, a wealthy, selfish Beverly Hills playboy) who falls for a selfless humanitarian (Russell).

Arnett is married to Amy Poehler and guest-starred on Parks and Recreation a few weeks ago.

Let the celebratory screaming begin.
