Annie Murphy won’t play second fiddle to an immature, lazy husband — she’ll escape his clutches to live her best life. The “Schitt’s Creek” star has signed on to lead AMC’s “Kevin Can F*** Himself,” a dark comedy series about a sitcom wife who refuses to spend her days nagging.

The project, created and exec produced by Valerie Armstrong (“Lodge 49”), “probes the secret life of a type of woman we all grew up believing we knew: the sitcom wife (Murphy). It looks to break television convention and ask what the world looks like through her eyes,” the source details. “Alternating between single-camera realism and multi-camera comedy, the formats will inform one another as we imagine what happens when the sitcom wife escapes her confines, and takes the lead in her own life.”

Rashida Jones is also among “Kevin Can Go F*** Himself’s” exec producers.

“Annie is an undeniable talent with the ability both to play comedy and to break your heart. She is the perfect fit for the role of Allison, the perfect actor to bring to life creator Valerie Armstrong’s genius vision,” said Sarah Barnett, president of AMC Networks Entertainment Group and AMC Studios. “Cracking open the conventions of the ‘classic’ American sitcom to expose what’s swirling beneath, in this highly inventive and entertaining way, is the kind of story we are hugely excited to tell at AMC.”

Murphy plays Alexis on “Schitt’s Creek.” The CBC/Pop TV comedy is currently in its sixth and final season. She previously acted in, co-created, wrote, and produced CBC web series “The Plateaus.”
