Based on Sherryl Woods’ collection of romance novels, the series centers on three South Carolina women who have been best friends since high school, as they shepherd each other through the complexities of romance, career and family. Swisher’s Maddie Townsend is described as a low-key but resolute and loving woman whose gal pals are trying to convince her that now is the time for reinvention.
Brooke Elliott (Drop Dead Diva) and Heather Headley (Chicago Med) were previously cast as Maddie’s best friends.
Since wrapping Kevin (Probably) Saves the World‘s one-and-done run, Swisher has been attached to the ABC comedy pilot Happy Accident and, before that, the Fox pilot Dan the Weatherman (where she replaced Ashley Williams). Her previous TV credits also include Once Upon a Time, Pitch and The Astronaut Wives Club.
