Davis will play opposite Timothy Hutton in drama set at Midwest high schools.
John Ridley’s “American Crime” has cast actress Hope Davis to appear in seven episodes of the Emmy-nominated show’s second season, ABC and Ridley told TheWrap on Wednesday.

“With the welcome addition of Hope, we’re assembling one of the most accomplished casts I’ve ever had the opportunity with whom to work,” said Ridley in a statement. “Following last week[‘s nominations], we know expectations for our second season continue to grow. Having Hope play opposite Tim Hutton, watching them navigate an exceptionally charged set of circumstances, is going to allow us to excavate our subject matter with both the emotion and sensitivity it deserves.”
