TNT is developing a limited series about the disappearance of Chandra Levy, a 24 year old intern who went missing in May 2001.
Keith Huff is writing the script based on Scott Higham and Sara Horowitz’s book “Finding Chandra: A True Washington Murder Mystery”, reports Deadline.
Following her disappearance, Levy’s case became a murder investigation when her remains were found the following year. Romantically linked to Congressman Gary Condit, the case was a media hit, however Condit was cleared of any involvement.
In 2010, Ingmar Guandique, an illegal immigrant from El Salvador, was charged with the murder and sentenced to 60 years in prison.
However Guandique was granted a new trial last year and, just this week, federal prosecutors announced that all charges against Guandique were dropped.
Adrianne Palicki (“Agents of SHIELD”) will star opposite Seth MacFarlane in his untitled live-action space dramedy.
According to THR, the untitled series is “set 300 years in the future and centers on Orville, an exploratory ship in Earth’s interstellar fleet. Facing cosmic challenges both internal and external, the motley crew of space explorers aboard Orville will go where no series has gone before.”
Palicki is set to play Kelly Grayson, the newly appointed First Officer of Orville who is also the ex-wife of Orville captain Ed (MacFarlane).
Scott Grimes has also joined the cast as Gordon, Ed’s best friend who pilots the Orville.
Maya Rudolph has landed a multi-episode arc on “Brooklyn Nine-Nine”.
Rudolph will play “a U.S. Marshal who is Jake (Andy Samberg) and Holt’s (Andre Braugher) official liaison while they remain in the Witness Protection Program, and their only real contact to their former lives” (via TVLine).
Keep an eye out for Rudolph on the Season 4 premiere on September 20.
HBO has picked up a new family drama series from “Six Feet Under” creator Alan Ball.
According to Deadline, “the untitled series focuses on a contemporary multi-racial family: a philosophy professor, his lawyer wife, their three adopted children from Somalia, Vietnam and Colombia, and their sole biological child. This seemingly perfect, progressive family is in actuality harboring deep rifts. Then, one of the children begins to see things others cannot. Is it mental illness? Or something else? The series is a tragicomic meditation on the complicated forces at work on us all in America today.”
Ball is executive producing through his Your Face Goes Here banner alongside Peter Macdissi.
A host of high-profile guest stars have come on board upcoming episodes of Showtime’s “Roadies”.

Rosanna Arquette has signed on as a smug and intimidating iconic rock photographer who battles with Shelli (Carla Gugino) over her unusual concepts. This Sunday, comedian Marc Maron, playing himself, finds that comedy and rock aren’t always in perfect harmony, and legendary rocker John Mellencamp will also guest star as himself, giving some much-needed wisdom to Wes (Colson Baker a.k.a. Machine Gun Kelly) and Winston (Ethan Michael Mora).
