Busy Philipps is the third leading lady to join the cast of Tina Fey’s Peacock comedy series “Girls5eva,” the NBCUniversal-owned streaming service said Monday.
The “Cougar Town” alum will star alongside Sara Bareilles and “Hamilton” actress Renée Elise Goldsberry in the show, which follows a one-hit-wonder girl group from the 90’s that decides to reunite to give their pop star dreams one more shot after being sampled by a young rapper. Per the comedy’s description, “They may be grown women balancing spouses, kids, jobs, debt, aging parents, and shoulder pain, but can’t they also be Girls5eva?”
Philipps will star as Summer, “the most bubbly, but least talented member of the group,” who is now a “‘Real Housewives’ reject in yoga pants living in a New Jersey McMansion.”
Meredith Scardino created the series and executive produces alongside Fey, Robert Carlock (Bevel Gears), Jeff Richmond, David Miner...
