Plot Synopsis

Based on the UK series MIRANDA and executive produced by Jim Parsons and series star Mayim Bialik, CALL ME KAT is a half-hour comedy series that centers on Kat, 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. Which is why she recently spent her entire savings to open a cat cafe in Louisville, Kentucky. It was expected that Kat would 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, 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 cafe are Randi, a confident millennial and self-proclaimed "non" cat person; and Phil, 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, returns to town and takes a job as a bartender at the piano bar across the street, working with his friend, Carter. CALL ME KAT premiered on Sunday, January 3, 2021 at 8pm ET/PT on FOX, and then moved to its regular timeslot -- Thursdays at 9pm -- beginning January 7.
