Anne Heche To Co-Star On HBO’s Hung

Anne Heche has been tapped to co-star on HBO’s new series Hung, from creators Dmitry Lipkin and Colette Burson and director Alexander Payne. The dark comedy, which was picked up for 10 episodes, centers on Ray (Thomas Jane), a well-endowed struggling high school basketball coach. Heche will play Ray’s ex-wife, who is remarried. She replaces Kristin Bauer, who played the role in the pilot. The scenes in the pilot featuring the character will be reshot. Production on Hung is slated to begin in mid-March, with the premiere eyed for June.
