EXCLUSIVE: Kali Hawk (New Girl) has been added to the cast of ABC’s Schooled as a new series regular for The Goldbergs spinoff’s upcoming second season.

Set in 1990-something, Schooled follows the faculty of William Penn Academy, led by new music teacher and WP graduate Lainey Lewis (AJ Michalka), Principal Glascott (Tim Meadows), Coach Mellor (Bryan Callen) and young, enthusiastic super-teacher Charlie Brown, or CB for short (Brett Dier). Despite their eccentricities and crazy personal lives, these teachers are heroes to their students.
