Learn more about the new comedy:

B POSITIVE is a new comedy about a therapist and newly divorced dad (played by Thomas Middleditch of Silicon Valley fame) who finds a kidney donor in the most unexpected of places—and people. That person happens to be a rough-around-the-edges woman from his past—played by Annaleigh Ashford (Masters Of Sex)—who volunteers for the job and, together, they form an unusual bond that changes both of their lives.

In addition to Middleditch (“Drew”) and Ashford (“Gina”), B Positive also stars Kether Donohue (“Leanne”), Sara Rue (“Julia”), and Kamryn Kunody (“Maddie”).

Chuck Lorre and Marco Pennette are executive producers for Warner Bros. Television and Chuck Lorre Productions, Inc. The pilot was directed by James Burrows.
