Many viewers are well aware that in 2019, the star of the cult TV series Desperate Housewives, Felicity Huffman, was sentenced to 14 days in prison for her involvement in a college scandal case.
A little over a year after that fact, the actor was confirmed for the first role: he will play the lead role in the upcoming comedy on ABC.
The screenwriter of the upcoming series will be Becky Edwards, producer of The Bold Type TV show, and the story of his new project will be inspired by the true story of basketball team owner Suzanne Savage.
Along with Felicity Huffman, the comedy show will also star Zack Gotzagen, who is also known for his role in the 2019 comedy drama The Peanut Butter Falcon.

I am ashamed of the harm I have done to my child, family, friends, colleagues and the education system. I would like to apologize to the students who work tirelessly to To surrender, as well as to their parents, who do everything to support their children, “the actor pleaded guilty and served his sentence.
