Orange Is the New Black may be over, but its stars aren’t going away anytime soon. Jackie Cruz, who got her big break thanks to this show, just landed a recurring role on the third season of NBC drama Good Girls.

This addictive series tells the story of three suburban moms who are struggling to make ends meet. The trio finds themselves roped in a complicated criminal scheme after trying to solve their financial problems by robbing a local grocery store.

Good Girls stars Christina Hendricks as Beth Boland, Retta as Ruby Hill and Mae Whitman as Annie Marks. Jackie Cruz will join them in the role of Rhea, a single mom who befriends Beth after meeting at the park where their kids play, only to discover they have much more in common than she first thought.

Good Girls will be Cruz’s first major TV project following Orange Is the New Black. She’s also attached to the movies 13 Steps, Faraway Eyes and A Nice Girl Like You.
