Based on the BBC UK original series Miranda, Mayim Bialik (The Big Bang Theory) stars in Call Me Kat as a woman who struggles every day against society and her mother to prove that she can still live a happy and fulfilling life despite still being single at 39.
This is why she recently spent her entire savings to open a cat café in Louisville, Kentucky. It was expected of KAT (Bialik) to be married with kids by now, but for many reasons, she’s still single – and totally fine with it. Of course, Kat’s mother, SHEILA (Emmy Award winner and Golden Globe nominee Swoosie Kurtz, Mike & Molly), views her daughter’s single-hood as her own personal failure, but Kat remains determined to live a fulfilling life, and charts her own course to happiness.

Working alongside Kat at the café are RANDI (Kyla Pratt, One on One), a confident millennial and self-proclaimed “non” cat person; and PHIL (Emmy Award winner Leslie Jordan, The Cool Kids), who recently broke up with his longtime partner. Although Kat celebrates her independence, her single-forever plans may begin to veer off-course, when her former crush and good friend, MAX (Cheyenne Jackson, American Horror Story), returns to town and takes a job as a bartender at the piano bar across the street, working with his friend, CARTER (Julian Gant, Good Girls).
Call Me Kat premieres January 3rd 2021 on FOX.
