Season two of Showtime’s Masters of Sex has added Keke Palmer to the cast. Showtime says Palmer will be guest starring as Coral, “the nanny hired by the Masters to care for their new baby.”

Palmer joins a cast that’s led by Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan and includes Caitlin Fitzgerald, Teddy Sears, and Annaleigh Ashford.

Masters of Sex is executive produced by series creator Michelle Ashford, based on the book Masters of Sex: The Life and Times of William Masters and Virginia Johnson by Thomas Maier. Series star Michael Sheen also executive produces along with Michael Dinner, Tammy Rosen, and Thomas Maier.

Season one of the show earned Golden Globe and WGA nominations. Season two begins shooting this month in LA.

The Plot: Starring Michael Sheen and Lizzy Caplan as real-life pioneers of human sexuality, William Masters and Virginia Johnson, the series chronicles their unusual lives, romance, and pop culture trajectory. Their research touched off the sexual revolution and took them from a mid-western teaching hospital in St. Louis to the cover of Time magazine.
