TV Land is adding Warner Bros.’ off-net sitcom Mom to its lineup starting Sept. 18, the network said Friday.
“Mom speaks perfectly to TV Land’s audience of women who are looking for bright comedies that come from the heart,” said Frank Tanki, general manager of TV Land and CMT, in a statement.
The show, created and executive produced by The Big Bang Theory’s Chuck Lorre, will kick off on the network with a two-week launch event. During those two weeks, the show will air weeknights from 10 to 11 p.m. and 1 a.m. to 2 a.m. ET/PT. Mom also will air on TV Land sister network CMT starting Oct. 2.
