Deadline reports that GROUNDHOG DAY star Andie MacDowell has signed on for the BBC comedy CUCOO. The actress will take on the role of 'Ivy.' The series airs on online channel BBC Three. MacDowell is the latest Hollywood star to appear on the show, following cameos from BROOKLYN NINE NINE's Andy Samberg and Twilight's Taylor Lautner.
The series stars British talents Greg Davies, Helen Baxendale (FRIENDS), and Tyger Drew-Honey. The show, which was created by Robin French and Kieron Quirke, centers on "a UK family when a series of interlopers, U.S hippie Dale, played by Samberg and a lovechild played by Lautner, cause chaos." It currently airs worldwide on Netflix.
MacDowell will soon be seen on Netflix's comedy feature THE LAST LAUGH, opposite Chevy Chase and Richard Dreyfuss, where she portrays Doris Montgomery. She just wrapped production on Hallmark movie THE BEACH HOUSE, an adaptation of Mary Alice Monroe's relationship novel co-starring Minka Kelly and executive produced by MacDowell. She has recently been seen on the big screen in ONLY THE BRAVE and LOVE AFTER LOVE.
