Felicity Huffman Gets Starring Role In ABC Comedy Following Her Prison Stint

Felicity Huffman celebrity spoilers show that the Emmy Award-winning actress is going from the big house to the small screen. According to Deadline, the former Desperate Housewives actress will appear in an upcoming ABC comedy series.

Huffman was one of many rich and famous folk, including fellow felon Laurie Loughlin, aka Aunt Becky, who got caught paying a con man in exchange for getting their GPA-challenged kids into USC.

Apparently skirting the law and doing the time for her crime has not ruined Huffman’s chances for a career comeback.

Felicity Huffman Didn’t Think Her Kids Were Smart Enough

Huffman’s sketchy bid to bribe her kids’ way into college was revealed when the now infamous college admissions scandal hit the headlines. Huffman’s hubris netted her a 14-day sentence in prison at FCI Dublin, aka Club Fed, of which she served a whopping 11 days. Now that she’s out of prison stripes, TPTB have nabbed her for a primetime role in what is being billed as a comedy—one that’s fun for the entire family?

According to Deadline, Huffman was signed on to star in an upcoming ABC series that is inspired by the life of Susan Savage who is the owner of the Sacramento River Cats, a Triple-A baseball franchise.
