'The Neighborhood' Adds Skye Townsend to Season 6 Cast
Skye Townsend, who starred in the HBO variety series “A Black Lady Sketch Show” opposite comedians Robin Thede, Ashley Nicole Black and Gabrielle Dennis, has been promoted to series regular on CBS’s “The Neighborhood.”
The sitcom follows a white Midwestern family who move to a predominantly black neighborhood in Pasadena, California. The series, which begins its seventh season this fall, returns to the Eye network on October 21. The series stars Max Greenfield, Cedric the Entertainer, Beth Behrs and more.
Townsend plays Courtney, Marty Butler's (Marcel Spears) partner who is exploring life as a co-parent. She is described as "very smart, very cool, very outgoing" with a sense of humor. "Courtney worked with Marty at JPL and he recently hired her as an electrical engineer at The Fuse Box. They started dating a year ago and now Marty and Courtney are parents to a beautiful baby girl. But while they are devoted co-parents, they have made it very clear that they are not a couple."
