Last fall’s irresistible college a cappella singing competition comedy Pitch Perfect came out of nowhere to score big box office and critical raves, and now two of the film’s co-stars are looking to recreate some of that spark for TBS.

Alexis Knapp has been added as a series regular in the network’s Bill Lawrence (Cougar Town) comedy pilot Ground Floor, TBS confirms to EW. She joins her already-cast Perfect co-star Skylar Astin, who stars as a nearing-30 alpha male that, after some run-ins with his company’s tight-knit, happy-go-lucky support staff, realizes his own life isn’t as perfect as he once thought.

Knapp will play a sexy co-worker who prefers to hit the bars at night and catch up on her sleep at work.

John C. McGinley and Briga Heelan, both of whom are Lawrence alums — on Scrubs and Cougar Town, respectively — also star.

The Lawrence-created Cougar Town has proven a steady success on TBS, averaging around 2.8 million viewers per episode (live plus seven-day DVR) with 1.7 million of those in the 18-49 demographic coveted by advertisers, making it the network’s top-performing original series ever in the demo. It was enough to earn the show a renewal for a fifth season of 13 episodes.

Astin will play Brody Moyer, the charming manager who’s a master-of-the-universe in training who works for a top company who begins falling for building supervisor Jennifer (Heelan).

Actor Skylar Astin, the star of 21 & Over and Pitch Perfect, discusses his love for all things MMA.

Skylar Astin, Justin Chon and Miles Teller show they know how to get their party on in their new raucous movie, 21 and Over, but when they stopped by the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on February 28 to see The Other Place, they proved they know a thing or two about great theater as well. Astin, who starred opposite Anna Kendrick in the 2012 hit Pitch Perfect, and his co-stars didn’t want to miss Laurie Metcalf’s gut-wrenching and masterful performance as Juliana Smithton, a brilliant scientist who finds herself drowning in a sea of distorted memory. Check out this exclusive Hot Shot of the talented trio outside the theater, then head over to see Manhattan Theatre Club’s Broadway production of The Other Place before it closes on March 3.
