Starz announced today that Emmy Award-winner Rosie O’Donnell is set to appear in its upcoming comedy series Run the World.
O’Donnell will play the therapist of the four best friends are all using. However, Dr. Nancy Josephson isn’t your typical well-mannered therapist and is described as a “brash, foul-mouthed therapist that challenges the women to take ownership of their actions and acquire new tools for problem-solving.”
