WHITNEY CUMMINGS TO GUEST STAR IN FOX'S ANTHOLOGY DRAMA "ACCUSED"

Whitney Cummings has signed on to guest star in FOX's upcoming anthology drama, ACCUSED. She will play BRENDA, an acerbic female stand-up comic who is forced to confront public opinion and courtroom biases after she reports being sexually assaulted.

· ACCUSED is an anthology series, featuring a different cast each episode.

· ACCUSED is developed by Howard Gordon ("24," "Homeland") and executive-produced by Gordon, Alex Gansa ("24," "Homeland") and David Shore ("The Good Doctor," "House").

· FOX and Sony Pictures Television previously announced that Michael Chiklis ("The Shield") will star in the premiere episode and Oscar winner Marlee Matlin ("CODA") will make her directorial debut with an episode that features a deaf woman.

· Based on the BBC's BAFTA-winning crime anthology, ACCUSED opens in a courtroom on the accused, with viewers knowing nothing about their crime or how they ended up on trial. Told from the defendant's point of view through flashbacks, ACCUSED holds a mirror up to the current times with evocative and emotional stories. In ACCUSED, viewers discover how an ordinary person gets caught up in an extraordinary situation, ultimately revealing how one wrong turn leads to another, until it's too late to turn back.

· ACCUSED is co-produced by Sony Pictures Television and FOX Entertainment, and executive-produced and developed by Howard Gordon and executive produced by Alex Gansa, David Shore, Glenn Geller, Erin Gunn, All3Media America's Jacob Cohen-Holmes, and Jimmy McGovern, Sita Williams, Roxy Spencer and Louise Pedersen for All3Media International. Frank Siracusa and John Weber also serve as executive producers. Created by Jimmy McGovern, the original series debuted in 2010 on BBC One.

· Cummings is represented by Levity Talent and UTA.
