A&E's BATES MOTEL
- Jaime Ray Newman (Wicked City, Mindy Games) has booked a recurring role on the drama's upcoming fourth season. She will play Rebecca Hamilton, an old flame of Alex Romero (Nestor Carbonell) who she still very much loves.
HULU's THE AWESOMES
- The online streaming service has cancelled the animated comedy created by Seth Meyers and Mike Shoemaker after three seasons. The voice cast included Meyers, Ike Barinholtz, Emily Spivey, Taran Killam, Kenan Thompson, Bobby Lee, Paula Pell, Rashida Jones, Bill Hader, Josh Meyers and Rachel Dratch. The show is reportedly being shopped around to other outlets.
HULU's THE MINDY PROJECT
- After recurring throughout the first half of the fourth season, Fortune Feimster has been promoted to series regular on the hit comedy from Mindy Kaling. She plays Colette Kimball, the new nurse in the office who joined alongside her brother, Jody (guest star Garret Dillahunt).
ESQUIRE's BEOWULF

THE CW's LEGENDS OF TOMORROW
- Arrow alum Matt Nable will reprise his role as Ra's al Ghul on an upcoming episode of the spinoff. Ra's was killed at the end of the third season of Arrow, but given that the spinoff features time travel, it should be easy to explain why he appears again.
