9-1-1 (FOX) - Bryce Durfee has scored a recurring role on the series as Jonah Greenway, "a new paramedic on the 118 filling in for Chimney (Kenneth Choi) who's on leave searching for a missing Maddie (Jennifer Love Hewitt). Jonah is bright, observant and has a short tolerance for BS, and has a hard timing getting his new partner Hen (Aisha Hinds) to accept him." (Deadline.com)
FALLOUT (Amazon) - Walton Goggins is the first to be cast in the video game series adaptation from Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. No details about his role were confirmed. (Deadline.com)
GIRLS ON THE BUS, THE (HBO Max) - Melissa Benoist is in negotiations to star in the series, which "chronicles four female journalists who follow every move of a parade of flawed presidential candidates, while finding friendship, love, and scandal along the way." She's also expected to receive a producing credit as part of her services. (Deadline.com)
GOOD SAM (CBS) - Victoria Rowell will recur on the freshman drama as Tina Kingsley, "a high-powered, sophisticated, chairwoman of the hospital board with the kind of power that does not assert itself. Alienated from her son Malcolm (Edwin Hodge), Tina possesses a strong will to take what's in her sights, even when it means navigating complicated relationships from her past." (Deadline.com)
HUG MACHINE, THE (CBS, New!) - Writer Sam Laybourne and director Jorma Taccone have landed a pilot order from the Eye for a new single-camera comedy which "follows a dad, who gets a second chance to save both his marriage and his flailing rock career when his band unintentionally finds success in the raucous, cutthroat world of children's music." Party Over Here's Andy Samberg, Akiva Schaffer and Ali Bell will also executive produce for CBS Studios. (Deadline.com)
MISSING, THE (Peacock) - Karen Robinson and Michael Mosley have both been cast in the upcoming drama from David E. Kelley. Robinson will play Captain Helen Davies, "the woman in charge, a tough, no-nonsense, sometimes brusque boss who possesses a hard-won understanding of human nature, her job, and how to survive the NYPD's bureaucracy; she has a gift for understanding and working with complex personalities like Avraham - she demands the best from them and rewards it with fierce loyalty." And Mosley will portray Detective Earl Malzone, "a veteran cop whose cutting sense of humor masks a fear that his best days are behind him (and weren't that great to begin with). A solid family man with a wife and kids, he is dogged rather than brilliant, a good but not great investigator whose sardonic personality and teasing of Avraham masks just how much he loves his job and the people he works with." (Deadline.com)
NEIGHBORHOOD, THE (CBS) - Tracy Morgan will guest on the show's March 28 installment as Curtis Butler, "the frenetic younger brother of star Cedric the Entertainer's character." Adding, "the episode will center on Morgan's Curtis, a super lottery winner with a deep love of spending money, which includes showering people with hugely expensive gifts and experiences" (THR.com)
SOBER COMPANION (CBS, New!) - Jennie Snyder Urman, David Rosenthal and Gracie Glassmeyer have scored a pilot order from CBS for a new multi-camera take on the former duo's 2014 FOX pilot, about Eliza, "a hot-mess alcoholic who owns a bar with her uncle in New Orleans, but is forced to get her life together when the court appoints her an exhaustingly upbeat sober companion with whom she has to live 24/7." Justin Long and Nick Frost toplined the original single-camera incarnation. The aforementioned trio will executive produce alongside Joanna Klein for Urman's CBS Studios-based Sutton Street Productions. (Deadline.com)
SPOOK WHO SAT BY THE DOOR, THE (FX) - The cable channel has passed on the drama pilot, an adaptation of Sam Greenlee's spy novel. It's understood the network and producers Lee Daniels Entertainment and 20th Television are looking to redevelop the project with a new writer. (Deadline.com)
