Glee’s Heather Morris Joins So Help Me Todd as Love Interest
Glee grad Heather Morris will look to make beautiful music with So Help Me Todd‘s titular investigator when she boards the CBS dramedy for Season 2.
Starring Skylar Astin in the title role, So Help Me Todd follows a disgraced-but-lovable private detective who works to repair his damaged career — with extremely mixed results — by assisting with major cases at his mother’s (Academy Award winner Marcia Gay Harden) law firm. The series’ cast also includes Madeline Wise as Todd’s sister Allison, Tristen J. Winger as investigator Lyle, Inga Schlingmann as Todd’s lawyerly ex-girlfriend Susan and Rosa Evangelina Arredondo as Margaret’s assistant Francey.
As reported by our sister site Deadline, Morris will recur as Judy, a gift shop clerk in Todd’s office building who has “unusual ideas about the world, and has her sights set on Todd.”
Since “graduating” from Fox’s Glee, where she played Brittany S. Pierce, in 2015, Morris’ TV credits have included I.R.L., Go-Go Boy Interrupted and The Troupe 🤷🏻♂️, Dancing With the Stars Season 24, and episodes of GLOW and Raven’s Home.
Deadline also reports that Sandra Bernhard (most recently of American Horror Story Season 11 and Pose) will guest-star in So Help Me Todd Season 2 as Belinda Tuttle, an unscrupulous, ambulance-chasing attorney.
So Help Me Todd kicks off its second season on Thursday, Feb. 15 at 9/8c. In that episode, “Iceland Was Horrible,” Margaret and Todd tackle a case involving a murder on live local morning news and must rethink their working relationship after Todd decides to open his own PI business. Lisa Rinna (American Horror Stories) guest-stars in the premiere as a beloved local morning talk show host who is also an old friend of Margaret’s.

Good. The engaged ex who he pined over was off putting.
And this new girl will be annoyingly “wacky”.
Sandra Bernhard? Isn’t she under investigation for falsely claiming she donated money to charity when she didn’t allegedly. Casting really missed the mark here.
They should definitely do a dance number together!!
Heather is not a good actress.
The actor/character most viewers want increased screen time for is Jeffrey Nordling as attorney Gus Easton. He and Margaret/Marcia Gay Harden are absolutely magical together! 💝
So happy to see Heather Morris back on the screen and not just TikTok.
I’ll start watching it again as Heather will be cast.
You go GIRL !!!!
I love this so much! I can’t wait for Brittany on my screen again!
