It was reported on November 30 that Huffman had been signed to play a character based on Sacramento River Cats owner Susan Savage, who inherited the Triple-A baseball team on the death of her husband.

In May 2019, Huffman pleaded guilty to paying disgraced admissions consultant Rick Singer $15,000 to have a proctor change her daughter Sophia’s answers for the better after she took the SAT test.
The actress was handed a 14-day prison sentence, of which she served 11 days in October 2019.
She has also completed 250 hours of community service and one year of supervised probation.
Huffman’s husband, Shameless star William H. Macy was not charged in the scandal.
