THE CW's VALOR
- Matt Barr (Sleepy Hollow, Hellcats) has been cast as the male lead on the drama pilot written by Kyle Jarrow. He will play Gallo, a scruffy aging hipster meets flyboy.

After a botched mission in Somalia leaves a pair of American servicemen in enemy hands, Nora and Gallo train for a rescue operation and only they share a very large secret from the initial operation - a secret that must never come to the attention of the Army.
WGN AMERICA's SCALPED
- Alex Meraz (Suicide Squad, Animal Kindgom) is set as one of the leads on the drama pilot written by Doug Jung. He will play Dashiell Bad Horse, who was exiled from the Rez by his mother at age 13 and returns home after 15 years as a criminal with a mysterious agenda. His return sets him on a violent path of self-discovery about his place on the Rez and on a collision course with both his estranged mother and Chief Lincoln Red Crow.

Their simple life of women and working out is put on hold when the teenage son of Vince is dropped off on their doorstep by Priya (Kaling), one of his old high school flings.
NBC's THE SACKETT SISTERS
- Cougar Town alum Busy Philipps has booked one of the lead roles on the comedy pilot written by Luke Del Tredici. She will play Mandy, who is the Sackett family's living embodiment of the family's failure. She's been married three times and arrested six and has never held a job for more than a week. She's brash and cocky but deep down knows she's a screw up, like all the other Sacketts. Her son Mickey, whom she had when she was 20, is the only thing she hasn't ruined. Unprepared for motherhood, she will go to the ends of the earth to protect her kid.

THE CW's LIFE SENTENCE
- Jayson Blair (Young & Hungry, The New Normal) has landed a series regular role on the hourlong comedy pilot starring Lucy Hale.
