Rueben's Ramblings

Hey All,

Here are the news items for today, few though they may be:

TELEVISION

FX has confirmed that the sixth season of Justified will be the show’s last; but the good news is the 5th season just got started so fans still have plenty of Raylan (and the rest of the gang) to look forward to seeing. (Michael Ausiello at TV Line)

Soap actor Ignacio Serricchio (The Young and the Restless) will appear as the newest squintern on Bones. He will play a very prominent forensic anthropologist from Cuba who comes to the U.S. seeking asylum. (Michael Ausiello at TV Line)

Actress Karine Vanasse has been made a series regular on Revenge where she plays French magazine editor Margaux. This will take effect next season. (Kimberly Roots on TV Line)

ONLINE SERIES

Netflix has closed a deal on another new original series called Marco Polo, a nine-episode drama of politics, manipulation and deadly warfare among clashing empires. The project will premiere on Netflix in late 2014. (Nellie Andreeva at Deadline)

DEVELOPMENT NEWS

NBC has picked up a couple new pilots, including The Mysteries Of Laura from writer Jeff Rake and Greg Berlanti’s production company, and Constantine, based on the DC Comics character. The former will be based on the popular Spanish series Los Misterios De Laura that follows the life and relationships of a female homicide detective who can handle murderous criminals, but not her evil twins. Meanwhile, Constantine will center on John Constantine, an enigmatic and irreverent con man-turned-reluctant supernatural detective who is thrust into the role of defending us against dark forces from beyond.
