Jacki Weaver has been added to the cast of Hello Tomorrow!, an upcoming US dramedy.
The series is set in a retro-future world and follows a group of traveling salesmen selling lunar timeshares. Billy Crudup stars as Jack, a salesman whose optimism inspires his coworkers and customers, but threatens to leave him dangerously lost in the very dream that sustains him. Weaver will play Barbara Billings, Jack’s caustic and manipulative mother.
Other cast members include Hank Azaria, Haneefah Wood, Alison Pill, Nick Podany and Dewshane Williams.
It marks the latest US role for the Aussie veteran, joining Yellowstone, Bird Box, Perpetual Grace LTD, Blunt Talk, Gracepoint, Silver Linings Playbook and the upcoming true crime drama film American Murderer.
Hello Tomorrow! is written, executive produced and showrun by Amit Bhalla and Lucas Jansen, with Bhalla also serving as creator.

As an American, I really like her, she can do quirky American voices really well. She was really good in Blunt Talk?, if that was the name a few years back.
And surely her character’s name, ‘Barbara Billings”, is a tribute to TV’s perfect mother, played by Barbara Billingsley, “June Cleaver” on “Leave It to Beaver”!
