Production has started in Los Angeles on the new TBS original comedy series from Sony Pictures Televisio “Men at Work,” according to a news release.

Created by Breckin Meyer (“Franklin & Bash”), the sitcom features Danny Masterson (“That ’70s Show”), Michael Cassidy (“The O.C.”), Adam Busch (“Buffy the Vampire Slayer”), James Lesure (“Las Vegas”) and Meredith Hagner (“Royal Pains”), and centers on four friends who work together at a magazine.

Masterson portrays the recently dumped Milo, whose buddies are set on helping him get back into the dating game.

Lesure plays photographer and ladies man Gibbs; Cassidy is Tyler, a features writer with a sense of style and sophistication; and Busch plays Neal, a somewhat nebbish reporter who’s also the only one in the group with a steady girlfriend (Hagner).

Guest stars scheduled to appear this summer include Stacy Keibler, J.K. Simmons and Kathy Najimy.

“Men at Work” is set to air at 9 p.m., Thursdays on TBS, beginning with back-to-back episodes on May 24.
