Rigby will play the Red Queen, a character based on the playing card that originated in the novel Through The Looking Glass by Alice In Wonderland author Lewis Carroll. And, it is being reported that if the show is picked up Barbara Hershey, who had been seen as Cora on Once Upon a Time will play a role in the spin-off, which will be set in Wonderland pre-curse.

Cinemax has given a pilot order to a drama project called Quarry, which is based on the series of novels by Max Allan Collins. The project is set in the 1970s, centering on a Marine sniper who, upon his return home from Vietnam in 1973, finds himself shunned by those he loves and demonized by the public. Combat-hardened and disillusioned, he’s recruited into a network of contract killers and corruption spanning the length of the Mississippi River. (Nellie Andreeva at Deadline)
