Rueben's Ramblings

Hey All,

Here are the new items for today:

TELEVISION

Devious Maids received a last minute renewal for a 13-episode third season by Lifetime. It will be back sometime in 2015. (TV Guide Magazine)

Actress Ksenia Solo (Lost Girl) has joined the cast of the AMC period piece drama Turn that is set during the summer of 1778, centering on a New York farmer named Abe Woodhull, who bands together with a group of childhood friends to form the Culper Ring, a group of spies who turn the tide in America’s fight for independence. Solo will play Peggy Shippen, who hails from one of the richest families in the capital of Philadelphia who is well-versed in politics, foreign affairs and finance. She heroically sacrifices her happiness for the cause she believes in and the man she loves and eventually marries: Benedict Arnold (Owain Yeoman from The Mentalist). The 10-episode second season will air sometime in 2015. (Lesley Goldberg at The Hollywood Reporter)

ABC Family has ordered the supernatural series Stitchers to series. The drama follows a young woman recruited into a covert government agency to be “stitched” into the minds of the recently deceased, using their memories to investigate murders and decipher mysteries that otherwise would have gone to the grave.

STREAMING SERIES

Actress Valorie Curry (The Following) will have a recurring role in the online series House of Lies, playing Kelsey, a computer code writer who has all the weird, hours-alone-at-the-screen aloofness the job suggests. She’s smart, socially awkward, but confident in her coding prowess. A bit intimidating and intriguing in the way she’s unlike the usual business types. Kelsey finds it hard to suffer fools and anyone who doesn’t respect the technology she creates. What’s her connection to the pod, you ask? She works in their office suite. House of Lies will be back in early 2015. (Michael Ausiello at TV Line)

BOX OFFICE NEWS

Actor Matt Bomer (White Collar) will star alongside Ryan Gosling and Russell Crowe in the upcoming box office movie The Nice Guys which will take place in 1970s Los Angeles with Gosling playing a detective hired by a gangster (Crowe) to find a missing girl. In the process, he uncovers a dangerous conspiracy, and that is where Bomer’s character comes in. (Mike Fleming, Jr. at Deadline)
