21:55 - Big Little Lies - HBO Hoping for Season 2
Thanks to Jessica for the heads up.

Ever since HBO’s limited series Big Little Lies, executive produced by and starring Nicole Kidman & Reese Witherspoon, became an overnight watercooler hit, talk started about extending the series with a second season. The conversation got even lauder after the series landed sixteen Primetime Emmy nominations earlier this month.

The issue is that Big Little Lies was based on Lianne Moriarty, and there is no existing source material for a second season. But that might change, as Moriarty had been approached and has said that she is open to a second installment.

“I have started to think about ways this could continue,” she said in an April interview. “I wouldn’t write a new book but perhaps a new story, and then we’ll see what happens.”

21:10 - Snowpiercer - TNT Pilot Details Teased

While Bong Joon Ho’s futuristic cult thriller Snowpiercer took place on a train whereby the story advanced car-by-car as the characters moved to the front, that’s not how the drama will go down on TNT’s upcoming TV pilot adaptation or any episode going forward should it go to series.

“It’s a space ship show contained in one environment with a wide swatch of characters,” said Turner Entertainment chief creative officer and TBS and TNT president Kevin Reilly at TCA today.

“It’s an internal pot boiler of various dynamics and an intriguing mystery through the first person. Jennifer Connelly has made her mark, but it won’t (ultimately) take place on a (different) car per episode,” said Reilly.

“She’s stoic and has a very coiled energy and that’s going to work well in this part,” said Reilly about Connelly. The network chief also confirmed that Connelly’s character isn’t the antagonist Mason that Tilda Swinton played in the movie.



20:25 - The Arrangement - Season 2 - Garcelle Beauvais to Recur

Garcelle Beauvais (Spider Man: Homecoming) is set for a recurring role on the upcoming Season 2 of E!’s hit series The Arrangement.

From Universal Cable Productions and Emmy-winning writer/EP Jonathan Abrahams (Mad Men), the series stars Josh Henderson, Christine Evangelista, Lexa Doig and Michael Vartan in a Hollywood love story that brings to life the darker side of fame.

Beauvais will play Mason, a charismatic and intelligent businesswoman with ties to DeAnn’s (Doig) past.

20:25 - You're The Worst - Season 4 - Johnny Pemberton & Brendan Jennings to Recur

Johnny Pemberton is one of two recent additions to YTW‘s Season 4 cast roster, TVLine has learned exclusively. The other is Brendan Jennings, most recently seen on TVLand’s Nobodies. Both Pemberton and Jennings will recur throughout the season.

Pemberton will play Max, one of Edgar’s colleagues on a sketch show. Max is “hip” and “sensitive,” and his flashy Hollywood lifestyle proves very attractive to Edgar. They quickly become friends.

Jennings’ character, Neil, is (stay with us here) the new husband of the ex-wife of Boone, the man Gretchen is dating. (Boone will be played by Eureka‘s Colin Ferguson.) Neil is described as “an uptight beta-male” who has an openly antagonistic relationship with Boone.

02:45 - Midnight Texas - Breeda Wool to Guest

Breeda Wool, best known for playing Faith in the aforementioned Lifetime drama’s first season, will appear in an upcoming episode of NBC’s Midnight, Texas, TVLine has learned exclusively.

Wool will play Bowie, a “regal, formidable angel warrior,” described as a cross between Tilda Swinton and Game of Thrones‘ Brienne of Tarth — and, you know, an angel. As you probably guessed, she has quite a history with Jason Lewis’ angelic Joe; as his former mentor, she hunts him down to find out why he’s decided to abandon their demon-hunting cause. (For the record, Bowie “could care less about mortal humans, but takes her vows to hunt demons very seriously.”)

Also voicing characters are John DiMaggio, Billy West, Maurice LaMarche, Tress MacNeille, David Herman, Matt Berry, Jeny Batten, Rich Fulcher, Noel Fielding and Lucy Montgomery.

“Ultimately,” says Groening, “Disenchantment will be about life and death, love and sex, and how to keep laughing in a world full of suffering and idiots, despite what the elders and wizards and other jerks tell you.”

03:30 - MOVIES: Barbie - Anne Hathaway in Early Discussions to Star in Live-Action Adaptation

Anne Hathaway is talking about stepping into the role of Barbie for Sony Pictures, though the studio said “it is premature.” That comes even as its known that Alethea Jones also has been circling to direct after a nod from Hathaway.

Hathaway had been in the mix shortly after Amy Schumer left the project in March. The first big-screen, live-action Barbie film promises to get a huge marketing push from Sony and its partner Mattel in the summer 2018.

The movie is being produced by the husband/wife team of Walter Parkes and Lori MacDonald, along with former Sony studio chairman Amy Pascal (who bought the rights in 2014 while an executive). Mattel’s President and COO of Richard Dickson, who over the past two years has worked to modernize the brand, will serve as executive producer.

Pascal had alluded to talking to an Oscar-winning actress for the role of Barbie in her recent interview with The New York Times, which was no secret around town was Hathaway, but no one knew if the deal would make because of scheduling conflicts. Olivia Milch (Oceans Eight) was brought on to rewrite the script in the hope of getting Hathaway.

If a deal can be made, Hathaway would play a character who lives in Barbieland, where she gets kicked out basically because she’s not perfect enough, is a bit eccentric and doesn’t quite fit the mold. She then goes on an adventure in the real world, and by the time she returns to Barbieland to save it, she has gained the realization that perfection comes on the inside, not the outside, and that the key to happiness is belief in oneself, free of the obligation to adhere to some unattainable standard of perfection.

Happy!, set to premiere in the fall, follows Nick Sax (Chris Meloni) – an intoxicated, corrupt ex-cop turned hit man – who is adrift in a world of casual murder, soulless sex and betrayal. After a hit gone wrong, his inebriated life is forever changed by a relentlessly positive, imaginary blue winged horse named Happy (Oswalt). Together, Happy and Nick make the oddest of oddball buddy double acts, and team up to help save a little girl named Hailey who has been abducted.

The recasting was announced during the Happy! panel at the San Diego Comic-Con featuring Meloni and series executive producers Grant Morrison, Bryan Taylor and Patrick MacManus.

00:35 - Suranne Jones to Star in HBO & BBC Period Drama

Suranne Jones is set to star in Gentleman Jack (fka Shibden Hall), HBO and BBC One’s eight-episode drama series from BAFTA-winning writer Sally Wainwright (To Walk Invisible, Happy Valley). Filming will begin next year.

Set in 1832 Halifax, Gentleman Jack focuses on landowner Anne Lister (Jones) and her determination to transform the fate of her faded ancestral home, Shibden Hall, by marrying well. The story examines Anne’s relationships at home with her family, her servants, her tenants and her industrial rivals; and most importantly, with her would-be-wife, the wealthy heiress Ann Walker.

To restore Shibden Hall to its former glory, Anne must re-open her coal mines and marry well. But Lister – who dressed head-to-foot in black and charmed her way into high society – has no intention of marrying a man. True to her own nature, she plans to marry a woman. And not just any woman: the woman Anne Lister marries must be seriously wealthy.

00:35 - MOVIES: Invasion Of The Body Snatchers - David Leslie Johnson Scripting Remake in Development at Warner Bros.

EXCLUSIVE: Invasion Of The Body Snatchers is coming to a pod near you, courtesy of producer John Davis and Warner Bros. David Leslie Johnson (Dungeons And Dragons, The Conjuring 2) is penning another remake of the classic film — and there couldn’t be a better remake to do. In the 1970s, the last time it was remade with Donald Sutherland, Brooke Adams and Kevin McCarthy (who had been in the first remake), the United Artists movie became a political statement about cult leaders and conspiracy theorists in the time when 900 people died at Jonestown. It has those kind of undertones.

The film is based on the 1954 sci-fi novel The Body Snatchers from author Jack Finney. The story takes place in a small town invaded by aliens who plant pods that eventually open to become humans, a copy of those who lived in the town. One by one, each citizen falls prey to these aliens as the pods are dropped alongside their beds, mature as they sleep and then replicate the human as they sleep. The alien humans, which show zero emotion, then start multiplying in the town. This is slowly figured out by a local doctor who tries to stop it, and all the while he (and the audience) never knows who is real and who is an alien ready to kill.
