The drama in NBC’s Good Girls may be at an all-time high right now, but it’s about to get even better with the addition of a new recurring character.

TV Insider has learned exclusively that Lauren Lapkus (Crashing, The Big Bang Theory, Orange Is the New Black) is joining stars Christina Hendricks, Retta and Mae Whitman in a “key” Season 3 role. The actress, who is repped by UTA, will portray Phoebe Donnegan, a smart, driven young woman who is a bit on the nerdy side and owns it.
