Also joining the cast is Wendi McLendon-Covey, who recently played bride Lillian's cynical cousin Rita in Bridesmaids, and has previously appeared in TV shows including Rules of Engagement, Reno 911 and Modern Family. Having also been cast in Adam Goldberg's new comedy pilot for ABC, the in-demand McLendon-Covey has managed to sync her schedules to play the recurring role of Dr. Lillian DePaul. She is a new, formidable doctor at the hospital — the only female in an all-boys club who said to be both competitive with and a mentor to Johnson. Yorke and McLendon-Covey join a cast that also includes Caitlin Fitzgerald (It's Complicated), Nicholas D'Agosto (Heroes) and Teddy Sears (American Horror Story); and also features Emmy and Golden Globe award-winning actor Beau Bridges and Emmy Award winner Margo Martindale.
An adaptation of Thomas Maier's book, the Sony Pictures TV produced Masters of Sex is a one-hour drama starring acclaimed actors Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan, who will portray the real-life pioneers of the science of human sexuality. The series chronicles the unusual lives, romance, and pop culture trajectory of Masters and Johnson; their research touching off the sexual revolution that took them from a mid-western teaching hospital in St. Louis to the cover of Time magazine and nearly a dozen appearances on Johnny Carson's couch. The pilot was directed by Academy Award nominee John Madden (Shakespeare in Love, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) and is scheduled to air September 29th at 10:00 on following the third season premiere of Homeland.
