John Swihart is scoring the new Paramount Network original series American Woman. The show is inspired by the upbringing of Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Kyle Richard and stars Alicia Silverstone, Mena Suvari, Jennifer Bartels, Cheyenne Jackson and James Tupper. The comedy follows an unconventional mom struggling to raise her daughters with the help of her two best friends as they discover their own brand of independence amid the rise of second-wave feminism in the 1970s. John Wells (ER, August: Osage County, The Company Man) is executive producing the project. American Woman will premiere on June 7, 2018 on the Paramount Network.
