Hey All,
The entertainment news is few and far between because of the strikes, but what follows are the few news items for this past week:
TV CASTING NEWS
Alexa Davalos, who played Agent Kristin Gaines in FBI: Most Wanted will not be returning for the show’s upcoming 5th season. Supposedly it was an “amicable” departure. (TV Line)
Jodi Balfour, who played NASA astronaut-turned-President Ellen Waverly, will not be returning as a series regular for season 4 of For All Mankind, but she will appear in “some capacity, bringing closure to her storyline.” (TV Line)
SERIES GREENLIGHT
HBO has given a greenlight to the half-hour comedy series The Franchise that will go behind-the-scenes of a fictional struggling superhero movie. The official description is: “The crew of an unloved franchise movie fight for their place in a savage and unruly cinematic universe. The Franchise shines a light on the secret chaos inside the world of superhero moviemaking, to ask the question — how exactly does the cinematic sausage get made? Because every fuck-up has an origin story.” The series will star Himesh Patel (Yesterday) and Aya Cash (The Boys) along with Billy Magnussen, Richard E. Grant and Daniel Brühl [among others].

That’s it. Enjoy!
