Showtime’s upcoming show The Big C is set to welcome out actress Cynthia Nixon to the set. The new series focuses on an unlikely topic for a comedy: cancer.
Laura Linney plays Cathy, a subdued schoolteacher whose outlook changes after being diagnosed with cancer. Over a four-episode arc, Nixon will portray Rebecca, Cathy’s past college roommate who brings a little welcome chaos into her life.
Other cast members include Oliver Platt, Oscar-nominated Gabourey Sidibe, Brian Cox, and Idris Elba.
The Big C is set to premiere August 16 on Showtime.
