The Hollywood star Felicity Huffman is set to return to work for the first time since completing her prison sentence for her role in the college admissions scandal.

Entertainment Tonight reported that the 57 year-old Academy Award-nominee has been cast in a single camera comedy that has a pilot production commitment with ABC. The unnamed television show was reportedly inspired by Susan Savage, who is the real-life owner of the Triple A World Champion River Cats, and it will focus on love, loss, family and Triple A baseball. The character that Huffman will be playing is described as the “unlikely owner of a minor league baseball team,” who has to figure out what her new normal is after the tragic death of her husband.

Huffman’s character’s son will be played by Zack Gottsagen (The Peanut Butter Falcon), a baseball devotee with Down syndrome.

This will be Huffman’s first acting job since she was sentenced to two weeks in prison last year for paying someone to correct her daughter’s wrong answers on the SAT. She also had to pay a $30,000 fine, complete 250 hours of community and serve one year of supervised release, which just ended last month.

Huffman has been laying low since this scandal, but a source said back in April that she was planning to launch a comeback in Hollywood.

“Like everyone else, Felicity is staying home with her family and quarantining,” the source said. “She continues to be very involved with the charities involving prison reform and The Teen Project. Once COVID settles, and as she has said in the past, she will continue the work past the completion of her community service hours. Felicity is also hopeful that she’ll be able to return to acting early next year.”

Huffman completed at least some of her community service hours at The Teen Project, which helps at-risk homeless and sex trafficked young women. She had previously volunteered at the organization with her 17-year-old daughter, Georgia.

“For the last two years, Felicity and younger daughter Georgia have been going to The Teen Project two to three times a week and tutoring young high school girls to help them get their GED,” another source said. “These are girls who are from at-risk populations, who have been on the streets, human trafficked or suffered addiction.”

“The work that she’ll be doing at The Teen Project is impactful and significantly helping the young girls,” the source continued. “It is very meaningful for Felicity.”
