Donohue will play Lindsay, Gretchen's best friend who is married and trying her hardest to be a proper adult-type lady.

BBC America has opted to cancel its first wholly-original scripted program Copper after two seasons. The series will air its last episode on September 22. "Copper has been a fascinating and exciting experience for everyone involved," said BBC America general manager Perry Simon. "The opportunity to work with Tom Fontana, Barry Levinson, Will Rokos, Thomas Kelly and the extraordinary cast and crew on this journey is one that we are extremely proud of. Their vision to re-tell the immigrant experience through the melting pot of New York City was an original and fresh idea that melded well with the essence of BBC America's programming. After 23 episodes, with Lincoln dead and the nation starting to heal, it seems a fitting moment to conclude this American story."
