Casting News: Scott Foley Joins Shrinking, Jeff Hiller Boards Eternally Yours, And More
Bill Lawrence just can't quit TV's Scott Foley.
Following their previous collaborations on "Scrubs," "Cougar Town," "Undateable," and "Whiskey Cavalier," Lawrence has tapped Foley to recur in Season 4 of "Shrinking." Details are scarce, but Deadline reports that Foley will play a therapy patient.
Foley, who's fresh off a two-season run on ABC's "Will Trent," recently starred in Prime Video's family drama "It's Not Like That." Beginning October 7, he'll reprise his role as (nobody cares) Sean on ABC's "Scrubs" (get scoop via the cast interview above). He's also set to play POTUS in the Hulu drama pilot "Young Americans."
