According to the news outlet, Tomei will play a demanding venture capitalist who gets tangled in Lyon family drama, named Mimi Whiteman.
As a huge fan of hip hop music, social trends, high-end fashion and beautiful women, she's certain to spice things up in season 2.
Tomei has previously starred in FX's Rescue Me where she did a short story arc, and she's now developing a Gloria Steinem miniseries at HBO under her first-look deal with the network.
She will star as the titular character in the project, and produce the show alongside George Clooney.
