Heather Locklear Signs on for Season 3 of FRANKLIN & BASH

Heather Locklear has officially a signed a deal to appear as a series regular in the upcoming third season of TNT's hit FRANKLIN & BASH.

The actress replaces Garcelle Beauvais, who was released from the show following the second season. Locklear will play 'Rachel King,' a knockout trial lawyer with a penchant for high heels and high fashion.

Franklin & Bash stars Breckin Meyer as Jared Franklin and Mark-Paul Gosselaar as Peter Bash, two young, fly-by-the-seat-of-their-pants street lawyers who caused a seismic Culture Clash when they joined a legendary, button-down law firm. Jared loves sticking it to authority every chance he gets. Peter, meanwhile, has a knack for connecting with judge and jury any way he can. Malcolm McDowell plays Renaissance man Stanton Infeld, the brilliant and eccentrically spontaneous patriarch of the law firm. Also starring are Reed Diamond, Dana Davis, and Kumail Nanjiani.

Locklear recently wrapped up a stint on TV Land's HOT IN CLEVELAND. She's also set to appear in the upcoming SCARY MOVIE 5.
