Christine Ebersole has been cast in a recurring role as the mother of the series’ protagonist, a character described as capable of charming virtually anyone except her own daughter. Ebersole is a two-time Tony Award winner with credits including “Is This Thing On?,” “Bob Hearts Abishola,” “Licorice Pizza” and “The Wolf of Wall Street.”
Uzo Aduba joins the cast as a guest star in the role of Allegra Miller, a New York resident engaged in efforts to prevent developers from acquiring her home while pursuing significant life changes. Aduba gained prominence for her work as Suzanne “Crazy Eyes” Warren on “Orange Is the New Black,” earning two Emmy Awards for the role. She has also received Emmy recognition for portraying Shirley Chisholm in “Mrs. America” and has appeared in “The Residence,” Netflix’s “Painkiller,” and Pixar’s “Lightyear.”
Tyne Daly rounds out the guest casting as Helen Adler, a dedicated bird enthusiast prepared to take action when her avian interests face threats. Daly holds six Emmy Awards, a Tony Award and has been inducted into the American Theatre Hall of Fame, with her television career notably including the role of Detective Mary Beth Lacey on the CBS series “Cagney and Lacey.”
