Kudrow to star in new web comedy

Lisa Kudrow has signed up to front an online TV show for car firm Lexus.

The former Friends actress stars in Web Therapy, a shortform comedy series about a quirky psychotherapist who conducts three-minute sessions through the internet.

Kudrow wrote and produced the segments, with Don Roos directing. Bob Balaban, Jane Lynch, Rashida Jones, Tim Bagley and Dan Bucatinsky feature as some of Kudrow's clients.

"We were pleasantly surprised as to what we were able to accomplish with what the budget was and the fact that we have people of the calibre of Lisa Kudrow," Lexus's Sandy Blanchard told The Hollywood Reporter.

Lexus's venture into entertainment falls under the L Studio banner. The project, rumoured to be carrying a $30 million budget, also houses Amy B. Harris's Puppy Love. The series focuses on people's relationships with their dogs and stars Famke Janssen, Janel Moloney and Heather Burns.
