Brooklyn Nine-Nine is giving its resident optimist a bitter pill to swallow.
Joe Lo Truglio’s Charles will soon come face-to-face with his ex-wife Eleanor, to be played by Transparent actress Kathryn Hahn.
According to EW.com, Hahn will appear as Charles’ unfaithful former flame in the Jan. 5 midseason premiere. The episode will also welcome back Mary Lynn Rajskub as Boyle’s current girlfriend, Genevieve.
Brooklyn Nine-Nine airs Sundays at 8:30/7:30c on Fox, before it relocates to Tuesdays at 9 pm in January.
