Sendhil Ramamurthy – Heroes‘ Mohinder Suresh – will it seems play an ambitious lawyer who falls in love with Rex’s fiancée, played by Abigail Spencer.

Meanwhile Jane Curtin (Kate & Allie, Coneheads, Third Rock from the Sun) will be playing the role of Rex’s mother, who will it seems develop a relationship with his psychotherapist.

Update Tuesday, 8th December

It has since been announced that Sendhil Ramamurthy has dropped out of Rex Is Not Your Lawyer due to scheduling conflicts. He has been replaced with Jerry O’Connell.
