She also published a memoir in 2016 titled 'Scrappy Little Nobody.'

Since the protagonist will be changing every season, we can expect a varied cast as the series continues. Other cast members in this season include Lesley Manville, Peter Vack as Jim, Sasha Compere as Mallory, Scoot McNairy as Bradley and Zoe Chao as Sara.

Creators

Kendrick will serve as an executive producer alongside Paul Feig, Dan Magnante, series creator Boyd and co-showrunner Bridget Bedard. The series is directed and written by Boyd and will be a Feigco Entertainment and Lionsgate Television production.
