Valerie Bertinelli is joining the cast of Hungry.

The upcoming NBC single-camera comedy will star Demi Lovato, and is Valerie‘s first series regular role since Hot in Cleveland, Deadline reported Friday (June 11).

The show is written and executive produced by Suzanne Martin, and follows “a group of friends who belong to a food-issues group helping one another as they look for love, success and the perfect thing in the fridge that’s going to make it all better.”

In the show, Demi is Teddy, a “talented food stylist who wants to have a healthy relationship with food and date men who are good for her – but, like so many of us – it’s a struggle.”

Valerie will play Lisa, Teddy’s (Lovato) mom “and quick to point out they are also best friends. She is a warm, loving, self-critical and emotional mess of a woman who has lost and gained the same 30 pounds for 30 years. A restaurant owner, she is constantly thinking about and serving people food.”

Anna Akana, Alex Brightman, Ashley D. Kelley, Jay Klaitz and Rory O’Malley are all set to star.

Demi Lovato recently shared a powerful message about weight.

The actors were joined by their co-stars in the film, Matthew Noszka, Shameik Moore, Odeya Rush, Jacob Batalon, and Anna Akana for the event.

The upcoming film centers on a group of high school seniors, who find their friendships and love lives colliding thanks to a stranded pop star, a stolen keg, a squad of competitive dancers, a mysterious woman covered in tin foil, and an epic party at the local Waffle Town after a snowstorm hits a small midwestern town on Christmas Eve.

This is not Anna Akana‘s proudest moment!

The 29-year-old Youth & Consequences actress, author, producer and YouTuber is steadily breaking into the music scene, most recently with her new track “Not My Proudest Moment” – and we’re bringing you the exclusive first look at her new music video!

The video finds Anna going to confront her boyfriend – only, things aren’t quite as they seem.

“This song was inspired by the time I woke up at 1 a.m. and somehow knew my boyfriend was cheating on me. So I biked over to his house and sure enough, I was right. Always listen to your intuition,” Anna says.

Anna, who has over 2.5 million subscribers on YouTube and served as the star and executive producer for the Emmy Award-nominated YouTube Red series Youth & Consequences, made her author debut with 2017′s So Much I Want to Tell You: Letters To My Little Sister, which is now in development for a series adaptation.

With her music, she plans to address the battles she’s faced in life, including depression, abuse and toxic relationships.
