BAKER AND THE BEAUTY, THE (ABC) - Nathalie Kelley has booked the title role on the dram pilot, Noa Hollander: "She's the most famous woman in the country, the beautiful daughter of a real estate magnate, a successful model with an international career and, up until now, one half of a Hollywood power couple. The son of Cuban immigrants, Daniel Garcia is a simple guy who still lives with his parents and works at the family bakery. A chance encounter at a fancy restaurant - where Daniel may or may not propose to his eager girlfriend of eight years and where Noa is avoiding public speculation about a breakup from her Hollywood lover - leads to unexpected sparks and an even more unlikely love story."

Scott Rudin, Eli Bush and Garrett Basch will also executive produce. No studio was indicated. (Deadline.com)
LAW & ORDER: HATE CRIMES (NBC) - The Peacock has tabled its plans for a planted spinoff from "Law & Order: SVU." Originally given a 13-episode order back in September, the network plans to redevelop the project. Dick Wolf and Warren Leight remain attached as co-creators. (Deadline.com)
PERFECT HARMONY (A.K.A. ALL TOGETHER NOW) (NBC) - Tymberlee Hill is the latest addition to the newly retitled single-camera comedy pilot as Adams, "the richest woman in town, and a force of nature who is the undisputed star of the choir, partly because everyone's afraid of her." (Deadline.com)
REPUBLIC OF SARAH, THE (CBS) - Carlos Leal and Jonathan Slavin are the first to be cast in the drama pilot, about a small New Hampshire town that is thrust onto the world stage when the discovery of a valuable resource within its borders compels the residents to declare themselves an independent nation.

UNINSURED (NBC) - Fran Drescher has been cast in the Adam Pally/Abby Elliot-led multi-camera comedy pilot as Linda, "described as a mother and grandmother who loves her kids and grandkids as much as she loves reminding people she's from Brooklyn." (Variety.com)
UNITED WE FALL (ABC) - Jane Curtin and director Mark Cendrowski have both been tapped for the multi-camera comedy pilot, that shows how, when two people, Bill and Jo, with young children and overzealous extended families truly love each other, barely anything is possible.

Bill and Jo did the right thing and took her in, then Sandy miraculously recovered and never left." (Deadline.com)
UNTIL THE WEDDING (ABC) - Britt Lower has been cast in the Olivia Thirlby/E.J. Bonilla-led drama pilot as Naomi, "Adrienne's roommate and best friend. Defiantly single, defiant in general - there's nothing Naomi loves more than a good fight. Smart, uncensored, very funny, Naomi's an up- and-coming writer with a new book of essays that's getting serious traction. Though Naomi would say anything to anyone, there are very few people she truly lets in. A fiercely loyal friend, Naomi would go to the end of Earth for the people she loves." (Deadline.com)

The quintessential early 1960s catered-to husband, he enjoys his position as benevolent provider, provided Beth Ann remains the subservient homemaker." (Deadline.com)
YOU (Netflix) - Marielle Scott is the latest set to recur on the second season as Lucy, "an edgy-chic literary agent with a deadpan wit and a sense of humor about her own LA-ness. Her career-driven nature is balanced by her earthy partner Sunrise and their toddler." (Deadline.com)
