The second season of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt will intrdouce the title character's mother.
Tina Fey's original Netflix series stars Ellie Kemper as a young woman who escaped an underground doomsday cult and started a new life in New York City.
Speaking to The Hollywood Reporter, Kemper teased her on-screen mother's arrival in the next season, but declined to predict who might take on the role.
"What I know about her is that she wore short skirts and maybe wasn't the most attentive mother so it might be a sad revelation who the mother was," she said. "[Kimmy] didn't really have a family to go back to so I'm interested to know who that mom will be.
"I have a feeling whatever sadness is there will be dealt with [in] a humorous way."
Asked about the actress who might play the character, Kemper said: "Joan Cusack played my mom in the series finale of The Office which was amazing. That was great casting.

"I'm not going to name any other woman because what if a woman gets insulted that I said they could play my mom? So I'll just name my mom, Dotty Kemper."
Meanwhile, executive producer Jack Burditt revealed that the show's team have been "approached" by some actors who are eager to guest star in new episodes.
"It's funny because last season it was this weird show that nobody knew what we were doing," he said. "We were in such a vacuum because we filmed everything before we [aired] so we had no feedback on anything.
"Everybody thought, 'What's that show?' I'm sure a lot more people are going to becoming forward and saying I want to do a spot on that show."
