Christina Ricci will play Therese, an outrageous comedienne who uses her beauty for comedic effect. The character is described as a "dry and matter-of-fact" woman who likes to shock people and joke around, even when she probably shouldn't. The controversial funny lady will seek out Lockhart/Gardner's services.
Furthermore, Denis O'Hare's return as Judge Abernathy was officialised when he announced via a photograph on Twitter the arrival of Brian Dennehy on the show :
