Judy Greer, 'Crusoe' star among those signed to Lifetime miniseries

Lifetime's miniseries "Maneater" has added four people to its cast, including the man that star Sarah Chalke has on the menu.

The meal in question is "Crusoe" star Philip Winchester. Judy Greer, Maria Conchita Alonso and Gregory Harrison have also signed on to the cast, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

Based on a novel by Gigi Levangie Grazer ("The Starter Wife"), "Maneater" chronicles the life of Clarissa Alpert ("Scrubs" star Chalke), an L.A. girl-about-town who decides she wants to be married and sets her sights on landing a wealthy department-store heir (Winchester) who's trying his hand in the movie business.

Greer ("Miss Guided," "27 Dresses") will play Clarissa's friend Gravy (yes, Gravy), who has relationship issues of her own. Alonso ("Kingpin," "The Running Man") and Harrison ("Reunion," "Trapper John, M.D.") will play Clarissa's dysfunctional parents.

Suzanne Martin ("Frasier," "Hot Properties") is writing the script, and Timothy Busfield ("Studio 60," "Lipstick Jungle") will direct. "Maneater" will premiere later this year.
