According to the Hollywood Reporter, Peete is expected to play the romantic love interest to Mike’s police partner who’s known to have trouble with romance.

Peete is no stranger to television. She’s starred in “Hanging with Mr. Cooper” in the ’90s and most recently came in second place on NBC’s “Celebrity Apprentice.”

One thing is clear, though the “The Talk” may have lost a key player, “Mike & Molly” has picked up a Hollywood star veteran for their roster.

Tune into CBS on Monday nights at 9:30 pm to catch Peete in action.
