From WBTV, Suburgatory — which stars Jane Levy and Jeremy Sisto — has been a solid performer as a lead-in for Modern Family on Wednesdays at 8:30 p.m. The series, which appears poised for a third-season renewal, airs its second-season finale Wednesday with back-to-back episodes starting at 8 p.m. Kapnek also directed the finale.
Kapnek, whose credits include Hung and Parks and Recreation, is repped by UTA, the Gotham Group and attorney Jamie Mandelbaum. She also created pilots Wiener Park with Donal Logue at NBC and The Emancipation of Ernesto, starring Wilmer Valderrama for Fox.
