Heather Graham Joins Fox’s ‘Studio City’

Heather Graham will co-star opposite Eric McCormack in Fox’s family dramedy pilot Studio City, written by Krista Vernoff and directed by Sanaa Hamri. Inspired by Vernoff’s real-life experience growing up as the daughter of a drug dealer to the stars, Studio City is set in present-day Studio City, CA and tells the story of a young singer’s path to stardom, as she comes of age living with her songwriter father Rob (McCormack) — who turns out to be a drug dealer to the stars.

Graham plays Rob’s third wife Stevie. A former stand-up comedian, Stevie is generous and kind, with the mind of a teenager, filled with passionate ideas — just not very good ones. Vernoff executive produces with John Wells and Andrew Stearn for John Wells Prods. and Warner Bros. TV.

Graham, repped by Gersh and MGMT Entertainment and attorney Alex Kohner, recently recurred on the final season of Californication and will next be seen in If There Be Thorns, the third film in Lifetime’s Flowers In The Attic series based on the bestselling books.
