Kristin Chenoweth to Play the Killer in 'Trial & Error' Season 2

Kristin Chenoweth will be joining the cast of NBC’s Trial and Error for the upcoming second season!

The Emmy-winning actress will be playing the killer, replacing John Lithgow who was the accused during season one of the mockumentary series.

Kristin is set to play “Lavinia Peck-Foster, who is described as the first lady of East Peck who is a larger-than-life grand dame — at least in her own mind. She is an eccentric heiress known for her flamboyant outfits, large hats and hairless cat, Fluffy, who has not left the confines of Peck Gardens in ages,” according to THR.

“Lavinia calls on Josh Segal and Associates — the team that got off Owl Murderer Larry Henderson (Lithgow) — to defend her after she was found with her husband, Edgar, stuffed into a suitcase in the back of her car,” the description added.

“I’m excited to slip into a role that feels very right for me at this time. Plus, I’m surrounded by genius comedic actors and brilliant writing. I admire John Lithgow so much and want to make him proud by continuing what he began,” Kristin said in a statement.

The season two premiere date is not yet known.
