CASTING NEWS
Actor Christopher Lambert (NCIS: Los Angeles and Highlander) will guest in the season premiere of The Blacklist, playing expert assassin Bastien Moreau (aka The Corsican), who is shrouded in so much mystery that his mere existence has long been considered a myth and he is willing to go to any lengths to regain his anonymity after his true identity is uncovered.

An iconic DC villain and a member of The Elite, an assembly of antiheroes led by Manchester Black (David Ajala), Menagerie in her live-action TV incarnation is a jewel thief who doesn’t mind hurting people.

The series revolves around four American friends — Maya (Natathalie Emmanuel), Craig (Brandon Mychal Smith), Ainsley (Rebecca Rittenhouse) and Duffy (John Reynolds) — who reunite for a fabulous London wedding. But after a bombshell at the altar throws their lives into turmoil, they must weather a tumultuous year of romance and heartbreak. Relationships are forged and broken, political scandals exposed, London social life lampooned, love affairs ignited and doused, and of course, there are four weddings… and a funeral.

It looks like The CW is considering a Jane the Virgin spin-off that would have original series writer and co-executive producer Valentina Garza on board to write and executive produce the new project. The official plot details are being kept under wraps, but it is known that the potential spin-off will not be based on any characters currently appearing on Jane the Virgin. It is believed the series would be an anthology with each season based on a fictional novel written by Jane Villanueva (series lead Gina Rodriguez), with Rodriguez potentially onboard to narrate. (Variety)
Starz has acquired the 8-episode psychological thriller Dublin Murders, which is based on the Tana French Dublin Murder Squad crime novels. The series will star Killian Scott (Ripper Street) and Sarah Greene (Penny Dreadful) as two detectives investigating a young girl’s murder. (TV Line)
