More than six months after exiting CMT's Nashville, Connie Britton has booked her return to the small screen. The Friday Night Lights and Nashville Emmy nominee has booked a sizable role on Showtime's forthcoming comedy SMILF. Britton will have a multiple-episode recurring role as Ally, Bridgette's (Shaw) unstable boss who struggles with boundaries and finds herself in constant pursuit of self-betterment. The part marks Britton's first TV role since her Rayna James was killed in ABC-turned-CMT country music drama Nashville.
