Little-known fact: A third Kerkovich sister has been floating around in the universe, and Happy Endings fans are about to lay eyes on her.
TVLine has learned exclusively that Law & Order: SVU‘s Stephanie March has been cast as Alex (Elisha Cuthbert) and Jane’s (Eliza Coupe) never-before-seen older sister, tentatively named Brooke.

I’m told March’s arrival will shift the Kerkovich family dynamics in a major way, mostly because Brooke can out-Jane Jane.
The gig marks a rare small-screen comedy detour for March, who is mostly known for her dramatic roles. (As several TVLine readers pointed out below, she appeared in the first season of 30 Rock as a “love interest” for Liz.)
Happy Endings, which is currently on an unplanned hiatus, relocates to Fridays beginning March 29.
March’s episode will likely air in late April/early May.

Nice!!!Hope ABC will save HE, it’s my favorite comedy show!
agreed! I know its probably rooting for a sinking ship at this point but this hiatus has definitely proven how much i’ll miss it
ditto. My FAV comedy is Happy Endings. I feel like if they made episodes available on Netflix more people would watch. I know that’s how I got hooked on parks and rec and SOA
Same here. It’s so funny. I really hope it survives!
I think this might be her second high-profile comedic role. She also played a lesbian Jack set up Liz with on 30 Rock. Looking forward to this!
First stab at small screen comedy? Wrong. She was Jack’s friend “Thomas” who he set Liz up on a date with in the first season of 30 Rock.
She did an episode of 30 Rock too in the first season, where Jack set Liz up with a woman. She was Gayle to Liz’s Oprah.
This is probably the best piece of casting news I’ve seen in MONTHS! Love Stephanie March, love HE, can’t wait to see how this goes.
Interesting. I hope HE doesn’t get cancelled. Hopefully Fridays will work better for them in terms of ratings.
Love but they won’t and it will.
michael, you couldn’t take 5 seconds to imdb her?
Oh, EXCELLENT casting. I’m a once-in-a-while viewer of Happy Endings, but I’ll be watching this episode!
Haha! I remember her from 30 Rock. This is exciting news. I hope ABC renews Happy Endings. I just need it to have at least enough episodes for syndication! This show is hilarious and amazing! I wish more people knew about it.
You mean AH-MAH-ZING,lol!
SAVE HAPPY ENDINGS, I really hope it gets renewed or maybe goes to tbs
She looks perfect, I could easily believe she is a Kerkovich.
Love her! And I am an avid HE viewer and somehow totally missed Jane being a middle child!? That means this family dynamic is going to be even more dynamite! I really hope Friday’s doesn’t completely kill this show, it was such disappointing news, but I’m always wishing the cast the best, it’s such a good show.
Can’t wait to hear them butcher the Serbian language again
Their horrible Serbian accents are hilarious. Especially Alex’s, haha.
Jaw dropped. Did not even know they had an older sister if it was ever mentioned.
Hmmm… Jane seemed like the typical stereotype “oldest child” nothing like a “middle child”. I miss my HE! I can’t wait for it to come back. This is the only TV show I make time to watch. I’m not sure if moving to Friday will be a good thing though.
I also never saw someone like Jane as going through a ska punk phase either, but the show is so funny that I can let my continuity guard down.
AMAZING! I hope Happy Endings gets saved, I love it.
A-MAH-ZING!
