The show centers on an easygoing, recently divorced dad who tries to navigate new waters with his ex-wife , to whom he was married for 15 years, his kids and his new girlfriend.
Mohr is a regular on CBS’ drama Ghost Whisperer. The Yeager project is in first position. But if the pilot goes to series, there is potential for him also to still appear on Ghost Whisperer, which has been renewed for next season.
Angela Bassett is checking into the ER for the show’s final season on NBC says The Hollywood Reporter. She will join the show this fall playing a tough attending with a troubled past who’s returning to Chicago after helping a tsunami relief effort in Indonesia. The arrival of Bassett’s character promises to shake County General’s ER for its final season.
Lucy Liu is in negotiations to join the cast of ABC’s Dirty Sexy Money, which has been renewed for a second season, says The Hollywood Reporter. She most recently starred in another ABC drama, Cashmere Mafia. The casting on the show, where she would be a regular, is formally in second position to Cashmere Mafia, whose chances for renewal are not very good following a low-rated midseason run. Liu will be play an attorney.
On the ABC Studios-produced show, revolving around the wealthy Darling clan and their spoiled offspring, Liu would join Peter Krause, Donald Sutherland, William Baldwin, Natalie Zea, Glenn Fitzgerald, Blair Underwood, Seth Gabel, Zoe McLellan and Jill Clayburgh. Samaire Armstrong, who was a regular during the first season, won’t continue on the show full time.
Steve Buscemi will make an appearance on ER’s 14th season finale, airing May 15 says TV Guide. Buscemi plays “a loudmouthed drunk with a dangerous secret.” And he will “threaten the safety” of the hospital staff and make Pratt “choose between the life of a patient or the lives of his staff.” Elsewhere in the season-ender, Moretti (Stanley Tucci) makes a return visit, as does Hal Holbrook - who apperas in this week’s episode.
Fox has green-lighted a second season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles, picking up 13 new episodes of the SF series, Variety reported. The report confirmed a rumor first reported by TV Guide over the weekend. Warner Brothers TV, which produces the show, had already started staffing a second season, the trade paper reported. Fox has also been developing potential companion series, and, in meetings with advertisers, executives have discussed several potential scheduling scenarios that include the show.
Sarah Connor was one of the season’s most successful new shows, averaging a 4.4 rating/10 share among adults 18-49, as well as 10.5 million viewers overall, the trade paper reported. The series, a spinoff of the Terminator film franchise, revolves around a woman and her son battling futuristic robots. Lena Headey stars as Sarah Connor; Thomas Dekker plays her son, John; Richard T. Jones stars as FBI agent James Ellison; and Summer Glau plays Cameron.
Michael Ausiello is reporting that multiple sources have confirmed that Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles has been renewed for a second season. Fox has yet to issue an official announcement, but apparently the network on Saturday informed the crew and cast of that they are getting a second season. The series stars Lena Headey, Thomas Dekker, Summer Glau, Richard T. Jones, Brian Austin Green, Dean Winters and Garret Dillahunt.
Cole Hauser has been tapped for the lead role in The Tower, the CBS drama pilot from Cold Case executive producer Meredith Stiehm, reports Variety. Davis Guggenheim is directing the project, which will have Hauser starring as Sean Castleman, a crime reporter at a paper where journos investigate and solve crimes. CBS Paramount Network TV is producing. Hauser most recently co-starred in the Fox drama K-Ville.
With Anthony Anderson up for a recurring role on Law and Order and now Hauser landing this pilot with CBS, it looks as if K-Ville won’t be coming back to Fox. K-Ville was a great show, and I don’t think many people gave it a fair chance. While Cole Hauser can be rather cardboard, the supporting cast was great. I was really hoping K-Ville would be back for another season.
