The Gilmore Girls and Parenthood alum is coming back to NBC to star in the musical dramedy from Paul Feig. In a recasting, Graham will play the role of Joan, the boss of Jane Levy's titular computer coder, according to TVLine. She replaces Carmen Cusack, who played the character in the pilot. As TVLine notes, "the gig brings Graham back into the NBC fold following her six-season run on Parenthood, a show which, coincidentally, she also joined as a recast (she replaced Maura Tierney as single mom Sarah Braverman). Playlist marks Graham’s most significant TV role since 2016’s Gilmore Girls revival on Netflix. She also recently appeared in a multi-episode arc on Curb Your Enthusiasm."
