The Middle alumnus Eden Sher is set to guest-star in an upcoming episode of Superstore. Sher will appear in one Season 4 installment of the NBC comedy as Penny, a potential new hire at Cloud 9. When Jonah and Garrett take over the hiring duties for seasonal employees, they meet Sher’s character, an enthusiastic and quirky young woman (but not Sue Heck!) who is certain she belongs on the Cloud 9 team.
Superstore returns on Thursday, Oct. 4, at 8/7c, though an airdate for Sher’s episode has not been set.
As previously reported, ABC has ordered a Middle spinoff pilot, centered on Sher’s Sue as she leaves Indiana to pursue a career in Chicago. The pilot will begin production in October and, should it be picked up to series, will debut at midseason.
