Happy Sunday! It’s all casting all the time, as all those newly picked up pilots staff up. This week’s casting includes such fan favorites as Zach Levi, Terry O’Quinn, Katie Cassidy, Jonny Lee Miller, and Donald Sutherland, so let’s get to it.
Paget Brewster is leaving Criminal Minds.
TBS ordered 35 more episodes of For Better or For Worse, despite the fact that I have never heard anyone talk about watching this show ever.
Weeds update: Justin Kirk has signed on for season eight.
In development:
BET has greenlit the Single Black Female pilot.
HBO bought a Broadway comedy spec script.
NBC has ordered Hannibal straight to series and given one more pilot order to Notorious, which sounds kind of like Revenge.
Netflix has picked up another original series, Orange Is the New Black.
