After playing the good mother on the TV drama series Six Feet Under, actress Frances Conroy is soon going to be seen in a brand new TV comedy series called Bad Mom.

According to sources, the veteran actress has given her nod to star in this comedy series which is about a single mother of two kids.

Very much like her character on Six Feet Under, Ruth Fisher, Frances has portrayed the quiet yet loving mother in many shows like How I Met Your Mother, as the mother of the unscrupulous Barney Stinson. And ever since the cancellation of Six Feet Under, the actress has been busy with other shows and films, such as the movie Stone opposite the legendary Robert De Niro.

And now, Frances has bagged a key role in the Bad Mom series, which is ABC’s latest offering for its viewers.
She will be starring alongside actress Jenna Elfman, who will be playing Julia Lacey, daughter of Marian, to be played by Frances herself.

The story of the show is based on the trial and tribulations of the Lacey family. Julia is a single mother with two kids, who has separated from her husband, Ted Lacey. This character is to be played by actor Tom Everett Scott. Their family arrangement allows Julia to work while her mother, Marian, takes care of the kids.

But Julia’s life is thrown into disarray after Marian decides that she is bored of taking care of her grandkids and wants to have a life of her own!

The show has an interesting setup, and the exceptional cast will only work to enhance the attraction of it. We hope that it will give a boost to Frances’ already illustrious career as an actress.
