Hunt has joined the series about a recently divorced single mom who moves in with her parents as Jenn, a woman who worked at an upscale but relaxed gourmet grocery store who's described as cool, fun and single with a bit of a wild streak.

Chalke's Polly views Jenn as a cautionary tale but Jenn sees Polly as a "project" and will help her re-enter the dating scene.

Hunt played Devin, Landry's crush and Crucifictorious bandmate as later pal to Julie Taylor on NBC/DirecTV's Friday Night Lights and most recently had an arc on Showtime's Californication.

How to Live With Your Parents, from writer/exec producer Claudia Lonow, will premiere midseason. Hunt is repped by Collier Talent Agency and Untitled Entertainment.
