Downey’s Miranda Cosgrove has been cast in a new NBC comedy pilot titled “Spaced Out.” 

From Deadline.com: 

“Written by [Adam] Sztykiel and directed by Ruben Fleischer, Spaced Out, from WBTV and Lawrence’s studio-based Doozer, is a workplace comedy that centers on a working-class genius and his struggles to fit in with an established team — all made more difficult when their job is building a rocket to Mars. Cosgrove will play Casey, a brilliant and enthusiastic software engineer who shares her co-workers’ dream of sending humans to Mars.”

Cosgrove is perhaps best known for playing the title character in the Nickelodeon teen sitcom “iCarly.” She also starred in the 2016 sitcom “Crowded,” which was canceled after 13 episodes.
