Hey All,
Here are the entertainment news items for this past week:
CANCELLATION
Sadly, Hulu has pulled the plug on the comedy UnPrisoned that starred Kerry Washington and Delroy Lindo after only two seasons. (TV Line)
NEW SERIES ORDERED
MGM+ has ordered a new drama series about Robin Hood that will follow the Norman invasion of England, focusing on Rob – a Saxon forester’s son – and Marian, the daughter of a Norman lord – who fall in love and work together to fight for justice and freedom. As Rob rises as the leader of a band of rebel outlaws, Marian infiltrates the power at court, as both work together to thwart royal corruption and bring peace to the land. (Variety)
DEVELOPMENT NEWS
Looks like Amazon is working on developing Robocop as a TV series (not the first time this has been done either, by the way). The series would focus on a giant tech conglomerate that collaborates with the local police department to introduce a technologically advanced enforcer to combat rising crime — a police officer who’s part man, part machine. (Variety)
TV CASTING NEWS
Not only is Floriana Lima (who was last seen in A Million Little Things) joining Grey’s Anatomy for its 21st season, but she will be cropping up in a recurring role on season two of Tracker on CBS, playing Camille Picket, an off-and-on lover of Colter Shaw (series lead Justin Hartley). (TV Line)
Snowpiercer and Hamilton alum Daveed Diggs has joined the season 5 cast of The Boys, but details on his role are being kept under wraps. (Entertainment Weekly)
Michelle Pfeiffer will join Elle Fanning and Nicole Kidman in the upcoming Apple TV+ 8-part drama series Margo’s Got Money Troubles, which is from David E. Kelley (Pfeiffer’s husband of 31 years). Fanning will star as Margo Millet, the child of Shyanne, a Hooters waitress (Pfeiffer) and an ex-pro wrestler, who has always known she’d have to make it on her own. Kidman is believed to be playing a mediator. (Deadline)
Kyle Chandler will play Hal Jordan in the HBO series Lanterns, which will follow Jordan and John Stewart, two members of the Green Lantern Corps, as in two intergalactic cops who drawn into a dark, earth-based mystery as they investigate a murder in the American heartland. (Variety)
Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day) and Callum Kerr (Monarch) will appear in the 6th season of Virgin River on Netflix, as the biological parents – Sarah and Everett – of lead character Mel (Alexandra Breckenridge). These new characters will be seen in flashbacks mostly set in or around 1972. There is also the possibility of a prequel to Virgin River that would be focused on these characters. (Deadline)
Max Irons will appear as Mycroft Holmes, older brother to Sherlock Holmes (Hero Fiennes Tiffin) in the upcoming Amazon Prime Young Sherlock series from Guy Ritchie. (Deadline and CBR.com)
Marnee Carpenter (the short-lived TV series Clarice) will guest star in an upcoming episode of Matlock, starring Kathy Bates. Carpenter will appear in flashbacks as Matty’s dearly departed daughter Ellie. (TV Line)
Oscar winner Hilary Swank has joined the third season cast of the Showtime series Yellowjackets, but details about her character have not been revealed. (Deadline)
Florence Pugh and Christopher Abbott will star as Cathy and Adam (respectively) in the Netflix limited series adaptation of East of Eden, based on the John Steinbeck novel that explores the multigenerational saga of the Trask family, focusing new attention on its indelible antihero, Cathy Ames. (Variety)
More cast members have been added to the upcoming second season of the FOX anthology series Accused, including Sonequa Martin-Green, Mike Colter, Jamie Chung, Sherri Saum, and Kiara Barnes. (Deadline)

A slew of actors has joined the cast of the upcoming Netflix feature film The Woman in Cabin 10, based on the best-selling novel by Ruth Ware, that is already slated to star Keira Knightley. The movie follows a journalist who witnesses a passenger being thrown overboard a luxury yacht at night — only to be told that it didn’t happen as all the passengers and crew are accounted for. Despite no one believing her, she continues to look for answers, putting her own life in danger. Those cast members recently added include Guy Pearce, Hannah Waddingham, David Ajala, Kaya Scodelario and Gugu Mbatha-Raw. (Deadline)
Oscar winner Emerald Fennell will be adapting and directing a new version of Wuthering Heights with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi in the lead roles of Catherine Earnshaw and Heathcliff. (Variety)
Anthony Hopkins will star in the Netflix biblical epic film Mary, playing King Herod. The film is a coming-of-age story in which Mary is shunned following a miraculous conception and forced into hiding. (Variety)
It would seem that Matthias Schoenaerts just might be joining the cast of the latest incarnation of Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow that will star House of the Dragon alum Milly Alcock as Kara Zor-El (aka Supergirl). It is believed that Schoenaerts will play the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills, who encounters Supergirl after he murders the father of a young girl. (Variety)
Brian Tee (Chicago Med) has joined the next film to be directed by Oscar winner Kathryn Bigelow. The film is cloaked in secrecy but is expected to include among its cast Rebecca Ferguson, Idris Elba, Jared Harris, Greta Lee, Anthony Ramos, Tracy Letts, Moses Ingram and Gabriel Basso.

Elle Fanning will be joined by Callum Turner, Riley Keough, Jamie Bell, Lukas Gage and Pamela Andreson (among others) in the upcoming box office film Rosebush Pruning that will be adapted from the Marco Bellocchio 1965 debut feature “Fists in the Pocket,” a dark satire of family and social values now considered a landmark piece of Italian cinema. (Variety)
MADE-FOR-TV MOVIE NEWS

The movie will star Ajiona Alexus and Da’Vinchi, reprising their roles from “Real Love” and “Strength of a Woman,” which both aired on Lifetime previously. (Variety)
