"Orange is the New Black" actress Diane Guerrero is joining the cast of "Superior Donuts" as a series regular in Season 2, TVLine has learned.

Guerrero, who will be introduced in the sitcom’s Oct. 30 premiere, will play Sofia, a young Uptown gentrifier who parks her food truck, which serves healthy, socially conscious breakfast foods, in front of Arthur’s old-school donut shop.

Though Arthur assumes she’s an entitled millennial, she’s actually a hard-working, enterprising, self-made woman who has poured every penny into her food truck business, which she plans to turn into an empire.



“We’re huge fans of Diane’s work on Orange is the New Black,” said executive producer Bob Daily.

“And we’re excited to be introducing her as a young entrepreneur who moves into the neighborhood, driving Arthur crazy and catching Franco’s eye.”

Diane Guerrero is ready “to get under Judd Hirsch’s skin.”

Here’s your first look of Guerrero, the former "Orange is the New Black" star who is now a series regular on CBS’ "Superior Donuts". She plays Sofia, a self-starter who runs a healthy food truck in front of the old-school donut shop run by Arthur (Hirsch).

“Diane was a great fit with our cast from the moment she set foot on our stage,” says executive producer Bob Daily. “She’s a great antagonist who can get under Judd’s skin, and she also has great chemistry with Jermaine Fowler [Franco Wicks] that could lead to romantic sparks down the road.”





“I love Sofia because she uses her skills to set herself apart and put her stamp on the world,” Guerrero says. “It’s important to represent women in this light … as hard working, thinking, and innovative people. People who don’t have a problem with challenging the status quo.”

As for joining the "Donuts" cast that also features Katey Sagal as Randy DeLuca, Guerrero says, “I am so happy and proud to work with the entire cast and love how talented and welcoming they’ve all been. It’s honestly a dream come true. Taxi and Married with Children helped shaped my ideas on comedy. And Jermaine is a breath of fresh air. He’s hilarious and so so great to work with.”



"Superior Donuts" returns on Oct. 30 at 9:30 p.m. ET on CBS.
