Hey All,
Here are the entertainment news items for this past week:
TV CASTING NEWS
The spin-off series S.W.A.T. Exiles has added Selma Blair and Jerry O’Connell to its guest star roster. (Variety)
Stephen Amell will be back on the small screen in the reboot of Baywatch that has already been picked up for the 2026-2027 FOX TV season. He will play Hobie Buchannon, the son of Mitch Buchannon (played by David Hasselhoff in the original series), who is now a Baywatch Captain, following in his father’s legendary footsteps. In this version, Hobie’s world is turned upside down when Charlie, the daughter he never knew, shows up on his doorstep, eager to carry on the Buchannon family legacy and become a Baywatch lifeguard alongside her dad. (Variety)
TV SHOW DEVELOPMENT NEWS
NBC is looking to reboot the classic 1970’s drama The Rockford Files with Angel and SEAL Team star David Boreanaz set to play the lead role. (Deadline)
The spin-off pilot The Rookie: North has added some series regulars, including Janet Montgomery (New Amsterdam) and Karen Fukuhara (The Boys). The series, should it go forward, will follow Alex Holland (Jay Ellis from Insecure and Running Point), who believed his midlife wasn’t worthy of a crisis. But after a violent home invasion ignites a dormant purpose, Alex battles a lifetime of failed commitments in Los Angeles by joining the Pierce County Police Department in Washington as its oldest rookie. Montgomery will play Charlotte Dru, Alex’s training officer. A former MP-turned-Pierce County Police Officer, Charlotte is precise, disciplined and calm under pressure with a subversive sense of humor. Meanwhile, Fukuhara as Leah Mizuno, Odell’s training officer. Leah comes from the high expectations of overachievers, where becoming a cop did not go over well. But unlike most youthful acts of rebellion, Leah loves what she does. (Deadline)
BOX OFFICE NEWS
Jason Momoa is set to star in the film adaptation of the Helldivers video game that will be directed by Justin Lin. The story centers around an elite unit of soldiers, known as Helldivers, who must battle alien creatures threatening to destroy the fictional planet of Super Earth. (Deadline)
Catherine Zeta-Jones is set to star in the psychological thriller Cupid, playing a marriage counselor whose methods push a fractured relationship into increasingly dangerous territory. (Variety)
Jessica Gunning (Baby Reindeer) is attached to play The Mama and the Papas singer Cass Elliot in the feature film adaptation of My Mama Cass, based on the best-selling memoir on the legendary, late singer that was written by her daughter Owen Elliot-Kugell. The planned production will explore how, in a musical landscape that was not short on iconoclasts, Elliot was a trailblazer. But her true power was that she took things the world didn’t want to give her…a gifted, outspoken singer who refused to be defined by her weight or the men around her, forging a singular career and choosing motherhood on her own terms at a time when the culture wasn’t ready for any of it. (Deadline)
Colman Domingo, Kerry Washington and James Marsden are set to star in the upcoming Netflix film An Innocent Girl, a psychological thriller about a young and ambitious woman seduced by a high-powered D.C. couple who draw her into a dangerous world of sex, power and murder. (Deadline)
It would appear that Sony Pictures is in early development of (yet) another feature film version of Charlie’s Angels, which seems apropos since this is the show’s 50th Anniversary. (Variety)
That’s it. Enjoy!
