Kristen Schaal has joined the US remake of BBC comedy Pulling.

The Flight of the Conchords star will play man-hungry Louise in ABC's pilot, Deadline reports.

Schaal replaces Mandy Moore, who was originally cast in the role but departed the project after the Louise character 'moved in a different direction'.

The original Pulling - which aired on BBC Three in the UK between 2003 and 2009 - was co-created by and starred Irish actress Sharon Horgan.

Lee Eisenberg and Gene Stupnitsky (NBC's The Office) have penned the US adaptation, which will also star Jenny Slate (Saturday Night Live).

Latest cast addition Schaal is an actress and comedian - she currently plays a regular voice role on Fox animated comedy Bob's Burgers and also recurred on NBC's 30 Rock.
