Development News - January 25, 2019

CBS' Nancy & Under the Bridge; The CW's Batwoman; and NBC's Untitlted Bradley Whitford Project.





THE CW's BATWOMAN
  • Meagan Tandy, Camrus Johnson and Nicole Kang have been cast on the drama pilot starring Ruby Rose. Tandy previously starred for one season in Lifetime's UnREAL and had major recurring roles on Starz's Survivor's Remorse and MTV's Teen Wolf. Johnson has recurred on Netflix's Luke Cage and Hulu's There's Johnny. Kang appeared in a major recurring role on Lifetime's You.
  • Tandy will play Sophie Moore. After graduating from military academy, she rose through the ranks to become a high-level private security agent and one of Gotham's staunchest protectors. Despite her bite and regimented outlook, Sophie has a soft side, illuminated by Kate Kane's (Rose) return.
  • Johnson will play Luke Fox. A Dark Knight loyalist and son of Wayne's R&D director Lucius Fox, he works to keep Wayne Tower secure in his boss' absence. While he considers himself the guardian of all things Batman - specifically his symbol - he also recognizes the city's need for a new hero.
  • Kang will play Mary Hamilton. Excitable, talkative and an influencer-in-the-making, she is Kate's step-sister and polar opposite. But what Mary lacks in a filter, she makes up for with her compassion for Gotham's underserved communities, proving she has more in common with Kate than she thinks.
