Prodigal Son

Bellamy Young To Co-Star In Fox Drama Pilot ‘Prodigal Son’

Former Scandal star Bellamy Young is set as a lead opposite Michael Sheen in Prodigal Son, Fox’s police drama pilot from Deception creator Chris Fedak and Sam Sklaver, Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros TV


Written by Feder and Sklaver and directed by Lee Toland Krieger, Prodigal Son is described as a fresh take on a crime franchise with a provocative and outrageous lead character and darkly comedic tone. It centers on Malcolm Bright, who has a gift. He knows how killers think, how their minds work. Why? His father Martin Whitly (Sheen) was one of the worst — a notorious serial killer called “The Surgeon.” That’s why Bright is the best criminal psychologist around; murder is the family business. He will use his twisted genius to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers, all while dealing with a manipulative mother, annoyingly normal sister, a homicidal father still looking to bond with his prodigal son and his own constantly evolving neuroses.

Young will play Bright’s mother, Jessica Whitly, an elegant WASPy New Yorker who wields sarcasm like a samurai sword. As the wife of a serial killer, she is a disgraced member of high society, but she refuses to hide from her truth, and she wishes her son would follow suit.

Lou Diamond Phillips, Aurora Perrineau and Frank Harts co-star in the pilot

‘Iron Fist’s Finn Jones To Headline Fox Drama Pilot ‘Prodigal Son’

Game of Thrones alum Finn Jones, coming off playing the title character in Iron Fist, has been tapped as the lead in Fox’s crime drama pilot Prodigal Son.


The project, from Chris Fedak, Sam Sklaver, Berlanti Productions and Warner Bros TV, has assembled a formidable central cast that also includes Michael Sheen and Bellamy Young.

Written by Feder and Sklaver and directed by Lee Toland Krieger, Prodigal Son is described as a fresh take on a crime franchise with a provocative and outrageous lead character and darkly comedic tone. It centers on Malcolm Bright (Jones), who has a gift. He knows how killers think, how their minds work. Why? His father Martin Whitly (Sheen) was one of the worst — a notorious serial killer called “The Surgeon.” That’s why Bright is the best criminal psychologist around; murder is the family business. He will use his twisted genius and razor-sharp instincts as a forensic profiler to help the NYPD solve crimes and stop killers, all while dealing with a manipulative mother (Young), annoyingly normal sister, a homicidal father still looking to bond with his prodigal son and his own constantly evolving neuroses.

Intelligent but deeply damaged, Malcolm has a self-deprecating sense of humor and a surprising level of compassion.

Lou Diamond Phillips, Aurora Perrineau and Frank Harts co-star in the pilot, which Fedak and Sklaver executive produce with Krieger, Berlanti Prods’ Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter. Warner Bros TV produces with studio-based Berlanti Prods. Fox Entertainment is a co-producer.

Katy Keene

Lucy Hale to Star in ‘Riverdale’ Spinoff ‘Katy Keene’

Lucy Hale has been cast in the titular role for the upcoming CW pilot “Katy Keene,” Variety has learned.

A “Riverdale” spinoff based on the Archie Comics character of the same name, “Katy Keene” follows the lives of four characters — including fashion legend-to-be Katy Keene — as they chase dreams in New York City. The musical dramedy chronicles the origins and struggles of four aspiring artists trying to make it on Broadway, on the runway and in the recording studio.

The character of Katy is described as a bold, big-hearted and independent twenty-something New Yorker, who aspires to be a fashion designer. When she’s not working as a personal shopper at a luxury department store, she’s navigating friendship and dating in the big city.

Hale is best known for playing Aria Montgomery in the Freeform teen drama “Pretty Little Liars,” and was also the lead in the Blumhouse horror thriller “Truth or Dare.” She is managed by Alissa Leeds at Reel Talent Management and represented by ICM Partners.

She joins previously announced cast members who include Camille Hyde, Lucien Laviscount, Ashleigh Murray, Jonny Beauchamp, and Julia Chan.

Robert Aguirre-Sacasa and Michael Grassi will write and executive produce, with Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, and Jon Goldwater also executive producing. As Variety exclusively reported, Maggie Kiley will direct the pilot. Berlanti Productions will produce in association with Warner Bros. Television.

Good Lord Bird

Ethan Hawke And Jason Blum On Genesis Of Showtime’s ‘Good Lord Bird’

Hawke said, “dominoes started falling.” And Monday afternoon at SXSW 2019, hours after Showtime revealed that it will make Good Lord Bird into an eight-episode limited series starring Hawke and produced by Blumhouse TV, he called the project “one of the biggest endeavors of my life.” Hawke is set to play abolitionist John Brown in the series, which is based on James McBride’s 2013 novel set in the Bleeding Kansas phase of the Civil War. It follows a young boy who teams up with Brown, but the book and the series do not take a traditional historic view. “Imagine if Huck Finn were a cross-dressing African-American boy and Jim were the abolitionist John Brown. And that’s the story,” Hawke said. “It’s one of the few novels of my life where you just feel staggered. The genius of it, the imagination. He tells a story of something we’re all scared to look at, the start of the Civil War…and he does it with so much wit and so much love. And it’s so unpolitically correct that you leave so unbalanced and confused, and you realize we’re all just human beings.” Blum originally thought Hawke wanted to turn Good Lord Bird into a movie. He said Monday that TV offers nontraditional projects like this one a better home these days. “We’ll have a lot more real estate to tell the story,” Blum said. While talking about Good Lord Bird, Hawke remembered a story about him and Richard Linklater. They were trying to pitch a movie that never got greenlit, and one studio in Los Angeles told them they wanted to “make important films.” Linklater replied that they’d come to the wrong place. “[McBride] tells a story about John Brown and it’s not important,” Hawke said. “He’s a human being…but he’s a fanatic and a lunatic. He suffers from mental illness. It’s all human beings. “It does that thing art can do, which is go where politics can’t because it doesn’t have an agenda.” Hawke and Blum, who have been friends for decades, previously worked together on The Purge TV series.

The Bone Collector

Drama Series Based On Books & Film In the Works At NBC

The Bone Collector, based on the bestselling book series by Jeffery Deaver and the 1999 movie of the same name which starred Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie. The project hails from writers VJ Boyd and Mark Bianculli (S.W.A.T.), Universal Television and Sony Pictures Television, whose feature sibling studios shared distribution of the film, in association with Uni TV-based Keshet Studios.

Written by Boyd and Bianculli, The Bone Collector follows Lincoln Rhyme, a retired genius forensic criminologist left paralyzed after an accident on the job. When a harrowing case brings him back to the force, Rhyme partners up with an ambitious young detective, Amelia Sachs, to take down some of the most dangerous criminals in the U.S.

In the 1999 movie, directed by Phillip Noyce, the roles of Lincoln and Amelia were played by Washington and Jolie, respectively. The film was based on Deaver’s 1997 novel The Bone Collector, which spawned an 11-book series. The series is expected to draw from the entire collection.

The Sopranos alum Michael Imperioli is set as a lead opposite Russell Hornsby in NBC’s Lincoln (formerly known as The Bone Collector), the drama pilot based on the bestselling book series by Jeffery Deaver that was adapted into the 1999 movie starring Denzel Washington and Angelina Jolie.

Written by VJ Boyd and Mark Bianculli and directed by Seth Gordon, Lincoln follows legendary forensic criminologist Lincoln Rhyme (Hornsby), who was seriously injured during his hunt for the diabolic serial killer known as the Bone Collector. Called back into action when the killer re-emerges, Lincoln forms a unique partnership with Amelia Sachs, a young beat cop who helps him hunt the deadly mastermind while also taking on the most high-profile cases in the NYPD.

Imperioli will play Rick Sellitto, an NYPD detective and Lincoln’s partner.

Probably means she's the Marilyn Munster of the family. Not a murderer like the rest. Though I would assume she's either an accomplice or kept in the dark.

What pilot?

Don't see what the plan with this would be considering the status of the original characters by the end of the series. Rebooting would need new characters, unless they just want to have Jerry and John as recurring or in an Arturo type role.

The series is currently airing on Horror Channel. I dipped in and out on its original run. Must watch the final episode at some point.

There was a pilot for a series a couple of years ago about a building where a group of people entered but when they left they were in a parallel universe.

Gangs Of London

The trio will join Peaky Blinders star Joe Cole and Humans’ Sope Dirisu in the crime thriller, which was created by Gareth Evans.

Rounding out the cast are Adrian Bower (The Last Kingdom), Ray Panthaki (Colette), Orli Shuka (War Machine), Darren Evans (Requiem), Garmon Rhys (Hidden), Serena Kennedy (Remember Me), Aksel Üstün (Les Revenants), Kwong Loke (The Feed) and Constantine Gregory (Wonder Woman 1984).
