Pilot Recasting Begins at 'Moonlight'
Plus, 'Prison Break' is looking to add three regular roles
CBS' vampire private eye drama "Moonlight" is reportedly seeking a new leading lady.The post-upfronts season traditionally brings a wave of recasting as networks look at the shows they've just presented to advertisers and try to determine how to make them better (or perhaps just different). Among the first shows to move in this direction is CBS' Friday night drama "Moonlight."
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the search is on for a new romantic lead to replace Shannon Lucio in "Moonlight." As presented to advertisers and reporters, the character is a reporter who falls for Alex O'Loughlin's immortal P.I.
While the Lucio character was briefly featured in clips presented at the upfront, the "Spring Break Shark Attack" and "The O.C." veteran wasn't mentioned by name in any CBS press releases on the show.
If Lucio needs work, it sounds like FOX's "Prison Break" is expanding its ensemble for its third season. When last viewers left Michael Scofield (Wentworth Miller), he was being checked into a particularly suspect Panamanian prison. That was back in the spring. When "Prison Break" returns in the fall, there will be plenty of new characters to cross, double-cross and triple-cross.
According to the HR, casting is underway for a mysterious, wrongfully imprisoned fishman, his local girlfriend, a Panamanian drug kingpin and a female operative within a shadow government conspiracy.
