Charlie Sheen’s "Anger Management" sitcom project is in discussions with "The Drew Carey Show" creator Bruce Helford, reports Deadline.com.

Helford is the leading candidate to write the project, a Lionsgate TV-produced series starring Sheen. No final decision has been made, the piece adds.

Helford is looking to return to TV full time after taking a break to focus on his children, the story says.
