In a recurring role, Bibb will play Casey, the sister and roommate of Emily (Lindsay Sloane) and a professional model. She’s described as a beautiful, confident woman who’s gotten everything she’s ever wanted throughout her life. When it comes to men, Casey is all about the now and not looking for a complicated relationship.
The series also stars Perry’s “17 Again” co-star Thomas Lennon as neat-freak photographer Felix Unger, played to finicky perfection by Tony Randall on the 1970s series that ran on ABC.
