The former "Twin Peaks" star has joined the cast of ABC's new comedy "Freddie," which stars Freddie Prinze Jr. as a Chicago chef whose life is overrun by the women in his family. Amick will play Allison, his flaky sister-in-law.

She replaces "Grounded for Life" star Megyn Price, who played the part in the pilot.

"Freddie" is scheduled to air at 8:30 p.m. Wednesdays this fall.
