ABC’s "Single Parents" has picked a familiar and fitting face to play ex-wife to Taran Killam’s hapless Will.

TVLine has learned exclusively that fellow SNL alum Vanessa Bayer will fill the recurring guest star role of Mia, Will’s ex. First appearing in a January episode of the freshman comedy, Mia is described as a “scarf-wearing, bracelets-jangling human rights lawyer who has spent the last five years saving lives abroad.”

As such she regards Will’s life to be a breeze and undermines his parenting at every turn.




Additionally, TVLine can report that Jama Williamson (The Good Place, School of Rock) will appear in a January episode as Tracy Freeze, Will’s overly confident new boss at a local weather station, while Talia Toms (Wicked City) will join judgmental moms Jackie and Lex (played by Jackie Seiden and Camille Chen) in the Dec. 5 episode.
