Matthew Perry Developing New TV Comedy

The "Friends" alum is set to star in, co-write and executive produce the untitled project produced by Sony Pictures TV.

Perry, who turned 40 in August, conceived the comedy, in which he will play a self-involved manager of a second-rate sports arena who begins to re-evaluate his life on his 40th birthday.

After meeting with a number of writers, Perry teamed with Sony-based Alex Barnow and Mark Firek, who will pen the script with him and exec produce.
