Comedian Margaret Cho has joined the cast of Olivia Haller's upcoming indie comedy series, "And Also With You." Cho will not only star in the show but also serve as an executive producer.
In the series, Cho is set to play Bev, the longtime best friend and coworker of the main character, Dawn. Dawn is a Midwestern woman in her late 50s who works at her local Catholic church and decides to come out as bisexual.
The inspiration for "And Also With You" comes from Haller's personal journey, having grown up Catholic before identifying as bisexual. Vico Ortiz, Alexis Floyd, Jon Snow, Leah Knauer, and Evan Gambardella are also part of the ensemble cast.
Tara Hotchkis is serving as showrunner alongside Haller and Cho. The writing team includes Julia Barnett, Bailey Benningfield, Hunter Ries, and Fiorella Vescovi. Production roles are filled by Lauren Bennett as producer and casting director, and Erin Brown Thomas as producing director.
