Sanaa Lathan and Glee heartthrob Jonathan Groff have landed new regular roles on the second season of Starz’s drama series Boss. The Lionsgate TV-produced series stars recent Golden Globe winner Kelsey Grammer as ruthless Chicago mayor Tom Kane. Lathan is finalizing a deal to play Mona, Kane’s incorruptible new chief of staff, who becomes an obsession for him. Lathan, repped by ICM and John Carrabino, voices the female lead on Fox’s The Cleveland Show and was most recently seen in the feature Contagion. Groff will play Ian Todd, a smart and ambitious staffer in Kane’s office who steps into the void Ezra Stone (Martin Donovan) has left to offer astute council to Kane. WME-repped Groff is best known for his recurring role as villain-turned-good guy Jesse St. James on the Fox musical dramedy Glee.

Gonna miss Martin Donovan. He was outstanding last season.
Yes! Can’t wait until Boss is back!
Does this mean Kathleen Robertson won’t be back? Anybody know about her deal?
She is back. Thank god.
Good for Sanaa. I love the show and think she’ll be a great addition. And they needed more black folks in a show that takes place in a city with huge and powerful black population.
i totally agree! doesn’t seem authentic without any black folk, that’s for sure! chicago does have a huge african american population, so we need a few more to the mix.
I met Jonathan Groff outside the stage door of his off-broadway show last year. He is the sweetest, most humble guy. I can’t wait for people outside of Glee and theatre to see what a talented actor he is!
I was in the core group of extras last season. What a professional team of people! I hope I get called back for season two so I can work with these two extraordinary people.
What happen to the good Doctor who was made to leave the city?
When does season 2 start?
Sanaa is going to ROCK the show!! So happy she’ll be a part of the Series this season. And so glad to see her back. All of her fans have missed her, she’s such a brilliant actress and adds exponentially to any project she’s involved in.
Hi I Believe Jonathan Groft’s an amazing actor I cant wait for see him.
