It鈥檚 a My Best Friend鈥檚 Wedding reunion! Dermot Mulroney will join Julia Roberts in Amazon鈥檚 forthcoming series Homecoming in a recurring guest star role.
Mulroney will play Anthony, Heidi鈥檚 (Julia Roberts) boyfriend, who is eager to please, but a bit needy and grows increasingly frustrated with Heidi鈥檚 lack of attention to him and their relationship.
Girls alum Alex Karpovsky is set as a series regular opposite Julia Roberts, Bobby Cannavale and Stephan James in Homecoming, the half-hour drama from Universal Cable Productions, Mr. Robot creator Sam Esmail and Anonymous Content, which has a two-season straight-to-series order at Amazon.
Based on Gimlet Media鈥檚 breakout fictional podcast, Homecoming is written by the podcast鈥檚 creators Eli Horowitz and Micah Bloomberg and directed by Esmail. It is a psychological thriller that centers on Heidi (Roberts), a caseworker at a secret government facility, and a soldier (James) eager to rejoin civilian life.
Karpovsky will play Craig, who works at the Homecoming facility and helps coach the clients through various real-life scenarios using improvisation as part of their rehabilitation into civilian life. He鈥檚 often frustrated when the clients don鈥檛 take the process seriously, but he鈥檚 excited to finally put his three years of improv training to use.
