Any new on once upon a time in wonderlands future TV god(Sawyer)?

Probably doesn't have one beyond whatever they've got left to air this season.

Thought her being the Wasp in Ant-Man/future Avengers movies would be a stepping stone to more features for herq

You make it sound as if she's already got the role.

Kinda surprised she's jumping into another series so soon. Thought she'd be mostly doing behind the scenes stuff.

Or a show on TBS that sounds like a Brooklyn Nine-Nine knockoff. I guess they're going for a more TNT cop show parody but still.

 

[Duran Man]

I hope it'll be funnier than Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

In my head she does

Be crazy not to since she has good chemistry with Rudd. Then again since Douglas is Pym then wouldnt Janet be older too?

You all can bear the hell with me...and then I will leave...but didn't really think Days of Our Lives would hit 50th b-day.

PILOT SEASON: How Many Orders Is Each Broadcast Network Eyeing This Year
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

I don’t think I’ve seen this before — by the end of the Winter TCA, two broadcast networks, NBC and Fox, are almost done with their pilot orders. Of course, the orders this year are not just for pilots as the networks — especially Fox, and to some extent NBC — are mixing things up with series pickups and commitments and pilot “prototypes.” Here is where things stand.

Fox has 10 projects with a series order — or a variation of it — in production for next season: two event series, Wayward Pines and Gracepoint; 6-episode comedy Mulaney; 13-episode dramas Hieroglyph and Backstrom; Glenn Gordon Caron/Ben Affleck’s The Middle Man, which has five scripts written and is casting; a few pilots that are designed to go to series, including comic book drama Gotham and Spanish series adaptation Red Band Society, which are opening writers rooms, and comedies Fatrick and Cabot College (formerly untitled Matt Hubbard). Additionally, the network has serialized thrilled drama Runner, set against the U.S.-Mexico war over weapons and terrorism, on a series path with an order for additional scripts and a bible for off-cycle production, with another complex serialized drama, the Jerry Bruckheimer-produced family thriller Home, expected to join it. The network also has a cast-contingent comedy pilot, Here’s Your Damn Family, produced by Johnny Galecki. Fox is expected to make a couple of more orders, with comedy Weird Loners said to be on the pickup runway and Will Forte’s Last Man On Earth and Dead Boss among those in contention.

NBC has ordered eight comedy pilots, two straight-to-series comedies (Tina Fey/Robert Carlock, Mr. Robinson), eight drama pilots and the 10-episode straight-to-series Wizard Of Oz project Emerald City, which, like Runner and Home, will set up a writers room and start working on backup scripts and a bible before going into production off-season. With several event and miniseries also on tap (The Slap, Rosemary’s Baby), NBC is pretty much set on the drama side, with another pickup or two a possibility, and likely will order a couple of more comedy pilots, with the adaptation of the Tom Hanks movie The Money Pit and a Joe Port-Joe Wiseman half-hour among the hot prospects.

ABC also is deep into pilot pickups. It has ordered four drama pilots, plus 10-episode Secrets & Lies, and five comedy pilots. (Cast-contingent comedy pilot Strange Calls is eyeing a move to NBC for the next development season.) The network is expected to stay on par with last season at 10-12 drama pilots and the same number of comedy pilots. Among the scripts that are garnering heat are comedies Fresh Off The Boat, from Nahnatchka Khan, and Damaged Goods, from Awkward creator Lauren Iungerich, which has a production commitment, and Dangerous Liaisons drama from Richard LaGravenese and producer Wren Arthur, with another series commitment/order a possibility.

Unlike its competitors, CBS, traditionally late to the party, is taking its time making pilot orders. The network has ordered only two new pilots, comedy Taxi-22 and the How I Met Your Mother spinoff, which join retooled comedies The McCarthys and Jim Gaffigan. No action yet on the drama side, where CBS has the direct-to-series Battle Creek, from Vince Gilligan and David Shore. I hear CBS is planning to order roughly the same number of pilots it has picked up the last couple of years, 10 comedies and 10 dramas. Among the buzzed about scripts are crime drama Real Deal, produced by Eva Longoria and a project from The Following creator Kevin Williamson referred to as Stalker Unit.

The CW is in the same boat as its sibling CBS, with only one ordered pilot: The Flash, based on the DC comic. The network also is expected to order the same number of pilots as the last two years, about eight, with another DC-based drama, Rob Thomas’ iZombie, getting a lot of heat.

Soapy Drama From David O. Russell & Susannah Grant Gets ABC Series Order
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: David O. Russell is coming to television. ABC has given a straight-to-series 13-episode order to a drama project from the American Hustle writer/director and Erin Brockovich writer Susannah Grant. The series, developed by CBS TV Studios and studio-based Timberman/Beverly, is an upstairs/downstairs soap set at a private country club. Russell and Grant co-wrote the story, with Grant writing the teleplay. The two are executive producing with Sarah Timberman and Carl Beverly; CBS Studios is co-producing with ABC Studios. This marks the first TV series for Russell, the hottest filmmaker at the moment with rare back-to-back Best Picture Oscar nominees — American Hustle this year and Silver Linings Playbook last year accompanied by best writing and directing nominations both times. Russell is on a streak, with his previous film, The Fighter, also earning a Best Picture and Best Director nominations in 2011.

The ABC drama also marks the first series for an outside broadcast network for CBS Studios in its first season opening up its development to broadcast nets besides siblings CBS and the CW. Grant previously created and executive produced the CBS/CBS Studios supernatural medical drama A Gifted Man. This is Timberman/Beverly’s fifth on-air series, joining Justified, Elementary, Unforgettable and Masters Of Sex. Straight-to-series orders have been on the rise at ABC, including Mistresses, the upcoming Black Box as well as Secrets & Lies, which is now casting. Russell, Grant and Timberman/Beverly are with CAA.

ABC Picks Up Matt Miller Immortality Drama Pilot, Charles Randolph Crime Thriller
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

Two more dramas have received pilot orders from ABC this evening, joining Amblin TV’s alien project The Visitors, based on a short story by Ray Bradbury.

Forever, from former Chuck executive producer Matthew Miller, Lin Pictures and Warner Bros. TV, centers on Dr. Henry Morgan, New York City’s star medical examiner. But what no one knows is Henry studies the dead for a reason—he is immortal. With the help of detective Jo Martinez, we will peel back the layers of Henry’s colorful and long life through their cases. Miller wrote the script and executive produces with Lin Pictures’ Dan Lin and Jennifer Gwartz. Forever draws parallels to the short-lived 2008 Fox drama series New Amsterdam.

Crime thriller Exposed comes from writer Charles Randolph (Love and Other Drugs), Peter Traugott’s TBD Entertainment, Sweden-based Yellow Bird Entertainment and Universal TV, where TBD is based. It is an adaptation of the best-selling novels by Liza Marklund that also were the basis for the hit Swedish drama series Annika Bengtzon: Crime Reporter, also produced by Yellow Bird. Exposed centers on an investigative journalist who will stop at nothing to uncover the truth including making questionable alliances. Randolph is executive producing with TBD’s Traugott and Rachel Kaplan and Yellow Bird’s Jenny Gilbertsson and Berna Levin. This marks the second pilot order for TBD today, along with a Wil Calhoun comedy at NBC, and a third overall this season, joining the Jeff Lowell comedy pilot at ABC. Today’s orders bring the number of ABC drama pilots to seven, plus series Secrets & Lies.

Fox Picks Up Hip-Hop Drama Pilot From Brian Grazer, Lee Daniels & Danny Strong
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

Fox has given a pilot order to drama Empire, from the duo behind hit feature Lee Daniels’ The Butler – writer Danny Strong and director Lee Daniels — and Imagine’s Brian Grazer who brought the two back together. Per Fox’s new development model, the project will be geared toward series, with Fox likely picking up additional materials but the nature of that supplemental order (backup scripts, bible?) is still being fired out. Empire had a put pilot commitment at Fox after sparking a heated bidding wars in September. Written by Strong and to be directed by Daniels, Empire is described as a unique family drama set in the world of a hip hop empire. 20th Century Fox TV and studio-based Imagine TV are producing, with Strong, Daniels, Grazer and Francie Calfo executive producing. The project marks Daniels’ TV debut, while Strong started his writing career in TV with HBO’s Recount and Game Change, earning Emmy nominations for both and winning for Game Change. At Fox, Imagine has upcoming drama series Gang Related and event series 24: Live Another Day.

ABC Picks Up Alien Drama Pilot ‘The Visitors’ From Amblin TV
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

Looking to build on the success of their TNT drama Falling Skies, Amblin TV is teeing off another alien drama, which just received a pilot order at ABC. Titled The Visitors, the project is based on a Ray Bradbury short story called Zero Hour. Amblin TV is co-producing with Marti Noxon and Dawn Olmstead’s Grady Twins. Olmstead found the short story and brought it to Amblin TV, which developed it with writer Soo Hugh, who has worked on Amblin TV’s The River and Under The Dome. The Visitors chronicles the race against the clock to defeat an unseen alien enemy out to destroy the world using our most precious resource against us. ABC Studios is producing. Olmstead, who was just named head of development for Universal Cable Prods., has two other pilots, Bravo’s Girlfriend’s Guide To Divorce, also from Grady Twins, and Lifetime’s The Lottery. Amblin TV recently received a series order at Fox for Red Band Society and has Ed Burns’ TNT pilot Public Morals.

Fox Picks Up Comedy Series ‘Weird Loners’, Pilots ‘Dead Boss’ & ‘Sober Companion’
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

After lengthy negotiations, Fox has given a six-episode order to single-camera comedy Weird Loners, from writer Michael Weithorn, who wrote the project on spec and sold it to Fox. It was then laid off at 20th TV, with studio-based director-producer Jake Kasdan coming on board to executive produce alongside Weithorn. Weird Loners is the story of four relationship-phobic people who are unexpectedly thrust into one another’s lives and form an unlikely bond in a townhouse in Queens, NY.

Additionally, Fox has given pilot orders to comedies Dead Boss and Sober Companion, both geared toward series. Single-camera Dead Boss, which had a put pilot commitment, hails from Warner Bros TV and Aaron Kaplan’s Kapital Entertainment. An adaptation of the BBC3 series created by Sharon Horgan and Holly Walsh and starring Horgan, Dead Boss was written by Patricia Breen (Suburgatory). It centers on a woman trying to prove her innocence after being falsely accused and convicted of killing her boss. Breen is executive producing with Horgan and Kaplan.

Multi-camera Sober Companion, from CBS Television Studios and writers/exec producers David S. Rosenthal and Jennie Snyder Urman, centers on a charming, but self-destructive attorney finds his world turned upside down when a court-appointed, and highly unconventional, sober companion takes control of his life.

Jane Kaczmarek To Star In Fox’s Ricky Blitt Comedy Pilot, Lifting Cast Contingency
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

Malcolm In The Middle star Jane Kaczmarek is returning to Fox with a starring role in the network’s half-hour pilot from writer Ricky Blitt, The Big Bang Theory star Johnny Galecki and producer Stephen McPherson. The project, formerly titled Here’s Your Damn Family when it was picked up as cast-contingent pilot in November, is now a firm go. The multi-camera comedy produced by Warner Bros TV, the studio behind Big Bang, centers on a stunted, set-in-his-ways thirtysomething man living with his mom (Kaczmarek) who finds his perfectly organized world upended when she gets married — and her new husband plus his three teenage children move in. Blitt, Galecki and McPherson executive produce.

UPDATE: NBC Picks Up Rob Lowe Comedy, Odd Couple Sitcom To Pilot
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

UPDATE: NBC also gave a pilot order to single-camera comedy The Pro, starring and executive produced by Rob Lowe. Comedy veterans Pete Huyck and Alex Gregory wrote write the script and serve as showrunners, with Todd Holland set to direct. The project, which had a production commitment, stems from a development deal NBC inked with Lowe in the summer when he was finalizing his upcoming exit from Parks And Recreation. It is co-produced by ABC Studios, which has a deal with Huyck and Gregory, and Universal TV, with ABC Studios taking lead. The Pro stars Lowe as former tennis doubles champion “Big Ben” Bertrahm, whose career flame-out and misguided investments have left him working as the pro at a tennis and golf club, where he tries to hustle and charm his way back into America’s 1%. Huyck and Gregory are executive producing with Holland and Karey Burke through their Uni TV-based Dark Toy banner, and Brillstein Entertainment’s Marc Gurvitz.

PREVIOUS: This is a significant development at NBC as it appeared uncertain whether the network would stay in the multi-camera business this pilot season. So far, NBC had picked up 9 half-hour pilots — all single-camera — and two straight-to-series comedies, also both single-camera. This afternoon, NBC made its first multi-camera pilot pickup, giving the green light to Lifesaver, from writer Wil Calhoun, Universal TV and studio-based Peter Traugott’s TBD Entertainment. It is an odd couple comedy in which two polar opposites become inextricably linked after one saves the other’s life. Calhoun, Traugott and TBD’s Rachel Kaplan executive produce. NBC has two multi-camera series on the air this season, Sean Saves The World and the upcoming Undateable, which is actually the second highest multi-cam tally for a broadcast network behind CBS. But I hear NBC brass had been debating whether to further build that part of their comedy portfolio this year. This marks Traugott and Kaplan’s second pilot order so far this season; they also have the Jeff Lowell comedy at ABC through ABC Studios.

Comedy Based On Kevin Hart’s Life Gets Cast-Contingent Pilot Order At ABC
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

ABC is adding a comedy to the three drama pickups tonight. The network has given a cast-continget pilot order to a multicamera comedy from hot actor/comedian Kevin Hart and former Community executive producers Neil Goldman and Garrett Donovan. This marks the first multi-camera pilot this year at ABC, which has only one multi-camera series on the air, Last Man Standing, and didn’t pick up any multicam pilots to series last season. The untitled Kevin Hart project, which had a put pilot commitment, is based on Hart’s life and stand-up. Written by Goldman and Donovan, it takes a candid look at the post-divorce life of a couple trying to forge a friendship for the sake of their kids, despite differences. 20th Century Fox TV is producing, with Hart, his manager Dave Becky, Goldman and Donovan executive producing. If the project goes forward, Hart will likely play a recurring role. Hart is one of the hottest comedy talents at the moment. Following the breakout success of his 2013 movie Think Like A Man, his latest feature comedy, Ride Along, broke box-office records with a huge Martin Luther King weekend opening.

USA Network Picks Up Eliza Coupe-Jay Harrington Courtroom Comedy Benched

Happy Endings‘ Eliza Coupe is guilty of… having a brand new TV series!

USA Network has handed a 12-episode series order to Benched, a half-hour, single-cam comedy starring Coupe as a dedicated, career-driven corporate attorney who has a very public nervous breakdown after getting passed up for an expected promotion, and finds herself working as a public defender.

Better Off Ted‘s Jay Harrington co-stars as Nina’s new colleague, Phil, a tall, dark and handsome, if not a little scruffy, public defender and avid gambler.

Trophy Wife‘s Michaela Watkins penned the script with Damon Jones (Halfway Home) and both will serve as EPs alongside John Enbom (Party Down), Mark Gordon (Grey’s Anatomy) and Andrea Shay (Family Tools).

FX Picks Up Andrew Gurland Comedy Pilot & ‘You’re The Worst’ To Series
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

FX Networks, which is making a big push in comedy with nine half-hour pilots, has picked up two of them – Married (formerly know as the untitled Andrew Gurland) and You’re The Worst – to series with 10-episode orders for a July debut on the flagship channel FX. “Married and You’re The Worst represent the continuing expansion of our comedy brand. They are smart, funny and adult,” FX’s Nick Grad said. The two shows, from FX Prods., also delve in marriage and romantic relationships, an area FX had largely stayed away from until now, focusing on more male-oriented fare.

Created, directed and executive produced by Gurland, Married is about being miserably in love. It stars Nat Faxon and Judy Greer as Russ and Lina Bowman, who can barely remember what was like before kids, debt, and suburbia rained on their romance. But every once in a while, in between arguments about their declining sex life and who’s driving carpool, they are reminded what drew them together in the first place — they’re best friends. The show co-stars Brett Gelman and Jenny Slate. Paul Young and Peter Principato also executive produce.

You’re The Worst, from creator/exec producer/showrunner Stephen Falk, is a comedic love story about what happens when two toxic, self-destructive people (Aya Cash and Chris Geere) fall in love despite themselves and attempt the impossible — a relationship. Jordan Vogt-Roberts directed the pilot episode; Kether Donohue and Desmin Borges co-star.

Sharon Stone To Topline TNT Drama Pilot ‘Agent X’ As U.S. Vice President
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

Selina Meyer, meet Natalie Maccabee. After a long courtship, Sharon Stone has signed on to star in TNT‘s action-drama pilot Agent X (working title). Penned by The Bourne Identity scribe William Blake Herron, Agent X centers on America’s first female Vice President, Maccabee (Stone), a woman with brains, beauty, and a cool composure that belies a restless mind. After the death of her husband, a Senate candidate, Natalie opted to run in his place, and after a rapid political rise, she now finds herself the newly elected Vice President of the United States. Initially apprehensive that her job will be ceremonial in nature, she soon learns that it comes with a top secret duty: protecting the Constitution in times of great crisis with the aid of her Chief Steward and a secret operative designated “Agent X.” The pilot is produced by Beacon Pictures, with Armyan Bernstein executive producing. Agent X joins HBO comedy Veep, which also centers on the U.S.’ first female Vice President, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus.

This marks the first series starring role for Stone, whose only previous series regular gig was a small part on a short-lived NBC drama at the very beginning of her career more than 30 years ago. The Oscar-nominated actress, repped by Paradigm and manager Chuck Binder, previously did arcs on The Practice, which earned her an Emmy nomination, and Law & Order: SVU, and starred in the 2001 HBO movie If These Walls Could Talk 2. This year she will be seen in Fading Gigolo with Woody Allen, and What About Love with Andy Garcia. Stone joins another female movie star, Halle Berry, who recently signed on as the lead of CBS’ summer series Extant.

Jesse L. Martin To Co-Star in CW Pilot ‘The Flash’
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

Law & Order alum Jesse L. Martin is set to co-star opposite Grant Gustin in the CW pilot The Flash, based on the DC comic. The project, from Warner Bros TV and Berlanti Productions, is an origin story about Barry Allen aka The Flash (Gustin), a Central City assistant police forensics investigator who arrives in Starling to look into a series of unexplained robberies that may have a connection to a tragedy in his past. Martin will play Detective West, an honest, blue-collar cop who is a surrogate father to Allen. This is a familiar territory for Martin, who is probably best known for his nine-year stint as Detective Ed Green on NBC’s Law & Order. He had been approached for several pilots before choosing The Flash.

Originally envisioned as a backdoor pilot episode of Arrow, Flash will now film a regular pilot. The move is clearly geared toward a series pickup as a stand-alone pilot would allow the series to “start off with a bang” the way Arrow did with its pilot episode, the CW president Mark Pedowitz said last week, adding that he is “bullish” on the project. Arrow co-creators Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg and series scribe Geoff Johns wrote the pilot, with Nutter, who helmed the pilot for Arrow, directing. Berlanti, Kreisberg and Nutter executive produce, with Melissa Kellner Berman co-executive producing.

Martin, repped by ICM Partners and Bob McGowan of McGowan Management, is filming the Marvin Gaye feature biopic Sexual Healing. He plays the tragic R&B singer in the film, which has been a passion project for him.

Rick Cosnett & Danielle Panabaker To Co-Star In CW Pilot ‘The Flash’
By NELLIE ANDREEVA

EXCLUSIVE: The Vampire Diaries‘ Rick Cosnett and Danielle Panabaker (Shark) are set to co-star opposite Grant Gustin and Jesse L. Martin in the CW pilot The Flash, based on the DC comic. The project, from Warner Bros TV and Berlanti Productions, is an origin story about Barry Allen aka The Flash (Gustin), a Central City assistant police forensics investigator who arrives in Starling to look into a series of unexplained robberies that may have a connection to a tragedy in his past. Cosnett plays star Detective Eddie Thawne, a recent transfer to the Central City Police Department, whose past is a mystery and who harbors a dark secret. Panabaker plays Caitlin Snow, a highly intelligent bioengineering expert who lost her fiancé during an explosion at S.T.A.R. Labs. Originally envisioned as a backdoor pilot episode of Arrow, Flash will now film a regular pilot directed by David Nutter, a move clearly geared toward a series pickup.

Cosnett, who is recurring heavily on the CW flagship drama Vampire Diaries, is repped by Resolution, managers Martin Berneman and Meghan Schumacher, and attorney Derek Kroeger. The CW has a tradition of taking actors who have popped as guest stars on one of its established series and cast them in a pilot. That happened with Arrow star Stephen Amell who previously did arcs on both The Vampire Diaries and 90210. Panabaker, repped by UTA and John Carrabino, had a recurring role on Justified.

Margaret Cho set to co-star in FOX's Tina Fey comedy

Tina Fey and Matt Hubbard's untitled FOX women's university comedy has landed on a familiar face for a key role.

Margaret Cho has come aboard the comedy unofficially known as "Cabot College," THR reports. The multicamera comedy takes place at a women's college that's opened its doors to men for the first time.

Cho will co-star in the series regular role of Laura Thibault, the president of Cabot College who made the tough decision to let men into the school. She's described as a divisive figure on campus who does her best to be welcoming to the male freshmen, but often finds herself irritated by their antics.

The series also stars Bonnie Dennison ("Third Watch") as Thena, a hard-core feminist sophomore who acts as leader of the population of Cabot College that doesn't want men on campus. Jack Cutmore-Scott co-stars as Charlie Deckard, a wealthy Kennedy-type who enrolls at Cabot. Fortune Feimster ("Chelsea Lately") and Brandon Jones ("CSI") also co-star.

Production on the untitled series begins in March. "30 Rock" alum Hubbard wrote the script and executive producers with Fey, Robert Carlock and David Miner.

The new role won't be taking Cho away from her work on "Drop Dead Diva." She will continue to have a role on the Lifetime show's upcoming sixth season.
