The project, from 20th Century Fox Television, centers around Jane (Greer), the over-used and under-appreciated head of H.R. for a plastic molding plant, who is caught between trying to manage her charmingly incompetent human resources department and a new eccentric CEO who dreams of bringing the New Jersey plastics plant into the future.

Osorio will play Tanya, a real Jersey girl. She started as Jane’s (Greer) assistant but worked her way up to payroll and severances.

Osorio most recently starred in Hail, Caesar!

As part of the deal, the Upright Citizen’s Brigade New York member would be cast in a comedy pilot for the network and studio this development season.

“We met Veronica and were instantly captivated by her story, drive and passion for comedy,” said Fox SVP casting Tess Sanchez. “She’s performed with the very best in sketch and improv, and we’re so excited to catch her on the rise as we begin casting our next slate of comedy projects.”

Born in Florida and raised in Venezuela, Osorio moved back to the U.S. about 5 years ago to perform sketch and improve comedy. She was a finalist in the 2013 NBC/UCB Diversity Showcase.

She is currently filming the Coen Bros. feature, Hail, Caesar!
