The cast of Emily Owens, M.D. also features Kelly McCreary as Tyra, Michael Rady as Micah, Justin Hartley as Will, Necar Zadegan as Gina and Aja Naomi King as Cassandra.

Gummer has appeared on Broadway in Les Liasons Dangereuses and off-Broadway in The School of Lies, Hunting and Gathering, Uncle Vanya, The Water's Edge and Mr. Marmalade. Her film and TV credits include Off the Map, The Good Wife, Evening and Twelve Thirty.
