Pomerantz, who serves as a writer and producer on the Telepictures' syndicated Ellen, will write and executive produce. DeGeneres, through her A Very Good Production shingle, will also serve as an executive producer on the Warner Bros. Television comedy.
The effort centers on a successful woman who notices that she's listed as a "single woman" on the paperwork for the house she's about to close on who becomes convinced that she just doomed herself to die alone. As a result, she turns to her friends, family and a therapist to convince her she didn't make a huge mistake.

DeGeneres this week kicked off the 10th season of her syndicated talk show to its best ratings since 2003.
Pomerantz, whose credits also include Community and Saturday Night Live, is repped by UTA and Mosaic.
