Sher was a breakout star of The Middle since the comedy’s 2009 launch; it recently wrapped a nine-season run. She won a Critics’ Choice TV award for her work on the show in 2013. She was set to reprise the role in a spinoff centered around her Sue Heck character, but ABC passed on the pilot.

In addition to The Middle, Sher’s TV credits include a recent guest role on NBC’s Superstore. She’s repped by ICM Partners, LINK Entertainment and Skrzyniarz & Mallean.

Jane the Virgin will return for its fifth and final season Wednesday, March 27. A Jane spinoff, titled Jane the Novela, has been ordered to pilot by the CW with star Gina Rodriguez as executive producer and narrator.
