“American Woman” has been greenlit by TV Land, Variety reports. Based on the life of “Real Housewives’” Kyle Richards, the ‘70s period dramedy stars Alicia Silverstone (“Clueless”). TV Land has ordered 12 episodes of the series.

“Set amid the sexual revolution and the rise of second-wave feminism, ‘American Woman’ follows Bonnie (Silverstone), an unconventional mother struggling to raise her two daughters (Makenna James and Lia Ryan McHugh) after leaving her husband,” Variety writes. “With the help of her two best friends, Kathleen (Mena Suvari) and Diana (Jennifer Bartels), these three women will each discover their own brand of independence in a world reluctant to give it.”

While Richards, whose upbringing inspired the show, will serve as co-executive producer, it seems that it’ll be mostly men working in prominent positions behind the series of “American Woman.” According to Variety, “John Riggi is writer and will serve as executive producer, alongside ‘Shameless’ vet John Wells and Alex Hardcastle, who directed the pilot.”

Hopefully there will be lots of women in the writers’ room, and female directors are hired to helm episodes. The series is, after all, centered on a single mom, her daughters, and her female friends, and portrays the women’s path to independence: It would be absurd not to incorporate the voices and creative visions of actual women in the series.

“American Woman” doesn’t have a premiere date yet. The series hails from Warner Horizon Television and John Wells Productions.

Richards was a child actress who appeared in “Halloween” and had a recurring role on “Little House on the Prairie.” From 1998 to 2006, she starred in “ER.” Her gig on Bravo’s reality show “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” kicked off in 2010.

Silverstone’s recent credits include “King Cobra,” “Vamps,” and “Suburgatory.”

TV Land has a number of women-centric series in the mix, including reboots of “Heathers” and “First Wives Club.”
