- Katherine LaNasa cast in Hulu's Count My Lies as Tracy, the mother of Sloane (Shailene Woodley), in a recurring — not regular — role
- The series is a limited series, meaning LaNasa can remain on The Pitt; Season 2 of the HBO medical drama recently wrapped production and concludes April 16
- Count My Lies follows compulsive liar Sloane Caraway, who fibs her way into a nanny job for Lindsay Lohan and Kit Harington's characters, only to land in a household of explosive secrets
- Isaac Aptaker and Elizabeth Berger, former This Is Us executive producers, write and showrun the series via The Walk-Up Company; 20th Television (Disney TV Studios) is the studio
- LaNasa won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series for her portrayal of charge nurse Dana Evans on The Pitt Season 1 — her first Emmy win and nomination
- Lohan and Woodley also serve as executive producers, alongside Aptaker, Berger, and Scott Morgan; the show is based on Sophie Stava's debut novel
Why it matters: The recurring designation lets LaNasa stay on The Pitt while expanding into a prestige Hulu limited series — a rare dual-commitment win for a working actress. For Hulu and 20th Television, attaching an Emmy-winning dramatic actress to a project already led by Lohan, Woodley, and Harington sharpens the show's awards positioning ahead of its debut.
