Starring Jaime Camil (Jane the Virgin) and Perrette, the freshman comedy follows Jackie (Perrette), a single mother and bartender who is just barely scraping by with her son Milo when her life is suddenly turned upside down when her sister Elizabeth shows up with her formerly rich husband Javier (Camil), who hope to move in with her while they’re down on their luck.
The series was given the greenlight by the network in May and marks Perrette’s return to TV following her exit on NCIS, the series on which she had portrayed Abby Sciuto for 15 seasons and more than 350 episodes.
In the months leading up to the premiere, Perrette has been eager to tease fans with behind-the-scene looks. After production officially kicked off in October, the actress shared a short clip from the casts’ first table read, showing herself and co-stars Camil, Natasha Leggero, Izzy Diaz, and Antonio Corbo.
