Tina Fey is once again teaming up with 30 Rock writer Tracey Wigfield and producer-writer Robert Carlock -- this time, for a new NBC comedy about a millennial and her mother.

The as-yet untitled project, written by Wigfield, centers around a mother-daughter relationship that gets tested when the over-involved New Jersey mom secures an internship at the cable news network where her daughter works.

Fey and Carlock have proven to be a bit of a dream team. 30 Rock won the Best Comedy Emmy three times, and their latest venture, Netflix's Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, was nominated for seven Emmys after just one season.

“Tina and Robert are two of the pre-eminent voices in comedy, and we couldn’t be more thrilled that they’re bringing their next project to NBC,” said Jennifer Salke, president of NBC Entertainment.

Wigfield, who won an Emmy for the 30 Rock season finale episode is currently a writer and producer on another beloved series, The Mindy Project.

“We also adore Tracey, who has written some brilliant episodes of both 30 Rock and The Mindy Project," Salke added. "With this super-talented trio at the helm, we’re eagerly looking forward to their next great show.”

Casting has not been announced yet, but if Fey doesn't decide to play the mom, there's no shortage of talented friends for her to recruit (hint, hint: Jane Krakowski).
