AUSTIN, Texas — Crowds are flocking to downtown Austin for the eighth annual ATX TV Festival. The event features panels, screenings and more -- all about television.
One of the shows being previewed is "Bless This Mess." The show is about a newly married couple from New York that picks up their life to move to a farm in Nebraska.
Lake Bell is not only an actor in the show; she’s also a writer, producer and director.
"'Bless This Mess' is totally born from, I mean the idea of it was born from, a real, a true fantasy that I have with my husband to sort of just up and go and just own a plot of dirt," said Bell.
The show also features cast member Pam Grier, who plays Constance.
"We were very lucky that she said yes and that she comes with such beautiful, soulful, thoughtful energy and infuses it into the character of Constance”, said Bell about Grier.
Grier comes to the role with prior experience working on a ranch. She says it’s "a joy to work with them and I'm glad that I can bring some authenticity."
"Bless This Mess" has been renewed for its second season. You can watch it this fall on KVUE.
