Confident, glamorous Greta, played by D'Arcy Carden, is another character who doesn't have a direct real-life inspiration but brings together many bits and pieces from real life and fiction. At first glance, Greta seems to be the new "version" of Madonna's character, Mae, from the original movie, but there's much more to Greta than meets the eye.
Carden, who has been friends with Jacobson for years, was initially a little hesitant to take on the role but was soon won over by Greta.
"I have this fear of working with friends where I was like, 'Well, what if the pilot's not good?'" she told The Daily Beast. "And I read the pilot in one sitting and it was so good that it was just like, 'Oh, well this is a complete no-brainer.' . . . Sometimes you get a feeling where you're like, I can't not be a part of this. If this happens and I don't get to be a part of it, I'm going to regret it. Or I'm going to jump off the face of the earth."
