Tina Fey is back in business at NBC. The 30 Rock creator, along with her producing partner Robert Carlock, has been granted a 13-episode straight-to-series order for a comedy starring The Office’s Ellie Kemper.

The single-camera effort, which is set to debut in the fall of 2014, will center on a woman (Kemper) who escapes from a doomsday cult and starts life over in New York City.

“We have been lucky enough to work at NBC for our entire careers (except when Robert worked at The Dana Carvey Show, now available on DVD) and we thank Bob [Greenblatt] and Jen [Salke] for their continued support,” Fey and Carlock said in a joint statement Thursday.

The half-hour series is being produced by Little Stranger and Universal Television, where Fey is under a rich, four-year overall deal. Fey and Carlock, who co-wrote the tightly guarded spec script for which the offer was made, will write, executive produce and co-run the series. 3 Arts’ David Miner, who also serves as Fey’s longtime manager, will join the pair as an executive producer.

“Tina and Robert, who cemented their partnership on 30 Rock, have created a new signature comedy for us that is audacious, emotional, and clever,” said Greenblatt, chairman of NBC Entertainment, adding: “While tapping into very relatable themes, there isn’t anything like this anywhere else on television. NBC has been their home for many years and we’re so happy that they’ve found another way to push the comedy envelope for us.”

Added Salke, president of NBC Entertainment: “Original voices like Tina and Robert don’t come along very often and we wanted them back on the air as soon as possible. And to have them working with Ellie Kemper — who we watched grow up on The Office from supporting player to leading actress — puts the whole package together. We feel fortunate to be in business with this entire creative team on something so funny, unique, and attention-getting.”
