    Cougar Town's Briga Heelan has landed a role on ABC's comedy pilot Counter Culture, TVLine reports.

    In the comedy, three aging sisters run a family diner together in West Texas and find that sibling dynamics are always getting in the way of getting the job done. Heelan will play Jill, the daughter-in-law of Joyce (Margo Martindale), the eldest of the three sisters.

    As previously announced, Everybody Loves Raymond's Doris Roberts will also star.

    Heelan is a relative newcomer to series television. She currently appears in a recurring role as Grayson's baby mama Holly on Cougar Town.
