Based on the British series of the same name, Pulling tells the story of three dysfunctional women in their 30s living their lives the way they want, even if society tells them they should have it all figured out by this point.

Raphael will play Donna, a sharp woman who seems to have it all -- an editor gig at a publishing company and a loyal fiancé. But her promotion was actually a computer error and her boyfriend bores her to death.

She'll co-star opposite Mandy Moore in the single-camera comedy from ABC Studios. Moore will play Louise, Donna's best friend.
