New Amsterdam alum Jocko Sims is back at NBC with a recurring role on the upcoming drama series Grosse Pointe Garden Society. Also recurring on the twisty, soapy mystery series from Good Girls‘ Jenna Bans and Bill Krebs are Saamer Usmani (Three Body Problem), Josh Ventura (Till) and Nora Zehetner (Grey’s Anatomy).
Grosse Pointe Garden Society, which earlier today released a first trailer, follows four members of a suburban garden club — Birdie (Melissa Fumero), Catherine (Aja Naomi King), Brett (Ben Rappaport) and Alice (AnnaSophia Robb) — who find their lives intertwined by scandal, mischief and a shared secret – a murder no one wants to talk about. As dark truths begin to rot their lives under the surface, they struggle to remain as perfect as the flowers blooming in their garden above.
Sims plays Catherine’s (King) husband Tucker. He’s entitled, self-serving, dismissive and prioritizes everything above his wife. Usmani plays Gary, a local realtor who’s having an affair with Catherine. Ventura plays Connor, a successful lawyer who’s a partner in the law firm that Brett’s (Rappaport) ex-wife, Melissa (Zehetner), works for. Zehetner’s Melissa, who is Brett’s ex-wife, is now married to Connor.
