It’s all in the family on season two of TV’s Bunheads, when Tony winner Sutton Foster will welcome her Tony-nominated brother Hunter Foster to the cast of the hit ABC series, according to ET.com. Hunter will star as wanderer Scotty Simms, who shares a close bond with his sister Michelle (Sutton). Bunheads second season premieres January 7, 2013. Hunter will make his first appearance in Paradise, California on the January 28 episode.
