Jon Cryer is returning to broadcast television.

The Two and a Half Men two-time Emmy winner has been tapped to star in ABC comedy pilot Losing It, The Hollywood Reporter has learned.

Losing It is a single-camera half-hour comedy about three adult siblings and their parents who - between their minds, their marriages, their freedom, and life - are all losing it in different ways.

Cryer will star as Andy, a successful acupuncturist who has turned to Eastern Philosophy as a way to cope with his crazy family. While he's close with his mother, his relationship with his father is complicated -  especially since Andy has to care for his dad, who never really took care of him. Andy is a bit of a control freak who believes he can fix anything -  except for maybe his marriage, which has been in trouble since he caught his wife with another man. Natalie Morales co-stars as Andy's younger sister.

Losing It marks Cryer's return to broadcast following his 12-season run on CBS' Chuck Lorre comedy Two and a Half Men. Since Men wrapped in 2015, Cryer has published a best-selling memoir and has guest starred in episodes of Lorre's CBS comedy Mom, NCIS, Netflix's Lady Dynamite as well as The Ranch, opposite his former co-star, Ashton Kutcher. He's repped by UTA and Myman Greenspan.

Up All Night's DJ Nash will pen the script and exec produce the ABC Studios entry alongside Kapital Entertainment's Aaron Kaplan and Dana Honor. Julie Anne Robinson will direct the pilot.

The casting immediately moves Losing It into a serious contender to go to series given Cryer's position as a marketable and proven TV star.

Has Cheryl already had the baby? Liam Payne is tip-toeing around the house as he tries to keep the noise down

It's believed that the singer was due to give birth very soon - but maybe she has already

 

 Is baby Chiam here?

Why is Liam Payne tip-toeing around his house?
The One Direction star may have just revealed that his girlfriend Cheryl has already given birth to their first child.
Liam, 23, revealed that he's trying his best to stay quiet when getting up early in the morning.
Is he trying not to wake Cheryl and the little one from their much-needed slumber?
He posted on Twitter: "Why do I always do the strangest walk when I'm trying to be quiet in a morning".

Cheryl recently made it very clear she was expecting a child as she cradled her bump in a photo campaign for The Prince's Trust and L'Oréal Paris, but until then she'd remained tight-lipped.
But it would seem that Cheryl had her reasons for keeping her pregnancy shrouded in mystery, as she didn't want to "jinx it".
The singer, 33, was "nervous" about being struck by bad luck after having two marriages collapse one after the other, according to Closer magazine.
The Fight For This Love singer is said to have been keen to keep her baby joy under wraps for fear of tempting fate - despite being over the moon.
