Ally Maki (Wrecked), Caleb Hearon (Fargo) and Rachel Pegram (Love Life) also have been cast as series regulars in the pilot, which Andrew Mogel and Jarrad Paul (Miracle Workers: Dark Ages) have been tapped to direct and executive produce. Produced by Sony Pictures Television for TBS, Space begins shooting in Portland in June.

Space, described as a hilarious, romantic Quantum Leap, follows Rob (Lacy) and Marin (Rodriguez), a long-term couple on the verge of a break-up who are granted the ultimate space to figure out their future when they suddenly begin jumping into the bodies of other couples.

Lacy’s Rob is a nice guy everyone loves to get a beer with, but who has no idea what he wants. Rodriguez is Marin, his lovably eager girlfriend who hasn’t yet accepted she’s an adult. Their relationship’s reckoning happens during their friend Priscilla’s (Maki) wedding, after Priscilla fights off intense cold feet to dive into commitment, causing their other friends, Jesse (Hearon) and Hannah (Pegram) to question Rob and Marin’s chronic avoidance of marriage.

Lacy is repped by UTA and Beth Rosner Management. Rodriguez is repped by Paradigm and Authentic Talent, Literary Management. Maki is repped by A3 Artists Agency, Haven Entertainment and Gang Tyre. Hearon is repped by Mosaic, CAA, and Jackoway Austen Tyerman.  Pegram is repped by Mosaic, Artists & Representative, and Frankfurt Kurnit Klein & Selz. Mogel and Paul are repped by UTA and Mosaic.
