Hunter King Promoted to Series Regular on 'Life in Pieces'

Big news for Hunter King – she has been promoted to a series regular position on the CBS comedy Life in Pieces!

The 22-year-old actress’ character Clementine eloped with Tyler (Niall Cunningham) in the season one finale.

Hunter‘s role on the soap opera The Young and the Restless will be scaled back to make time for her comedy gig. She has won two Daytime Emmy Awards for her work on the show and has been nominated four years in a row!

“To have a dramatic actress who excels at comedy is a rare find,” Life in Pieces creator/executive producer Justin Adler said in a statement to Deadline. “From her first day on set, Hunter has felt like a member of our family, and we couldn’t be more excited to make it official.”
