Pretty Little Liars' Andrea Parker Joins Red Band Society as "Alpha Dog" Lesbian Mom

There are a few familiar faces joining the young cast of Red Band Society, Fox's dramedy about teenagers living in a pediatric hospital ward. Described as sort of Breakfast Club-esque (though with considerably higher stakes) the show is definitely taking some interesting, dark risks. For example, it's narrated by a child in a coma - but the more we find out, the more hooked we've become. Recently, it was announced that Andrea Parker, who played mean girl Alison DiLaurentis' mom on Pretty Little Liars, will be joining the cast as Sarah, the mother of a high school cheerleader who ends up in the hospital. Deadline describes Sarah as, "A wealthy, driven, dedicated and fashionable woman who has connections and usually gets what she wants. She is the “alpha dog” in her lesbian relationship and is hellbent on finding a way to move her daughter up the organ-donation list to receive a new heart." We didn't get to know Andrea too well on PLL, so we're definitely looking forward to her dominating our screens a little more this season. Red Band Society features a strong cast of female leads, including Octavia Spencer as one of Ocean Park's nurses and Mandy Moore as the Chief of Staff. Check out the trailer below and tune into the pilot episode of Red Band Society on September 17th!
