Friday Night… Fights?: Minka Kelly is a TV cheerleader no more. The Friday Night Lights vet is returning to her Charlie’s Angels roots (sort of) in J.J. Abrams’ much abuzzed, but still untitled, new pilot. It’s a futuristic buddy-cop show where all LAPD officers are partnered up with androids, but sorry pervs — she’s an actual living cop. To get specific, she’s a “uniformed cop with a strong moral compass who believes the best of people.” Sounds great! [Deadline]
Josh Lucas and Lynn Collins Get Witchy: After a long, complicated casting process, Josh Lucas and Lynn Collins have been cast as the leads in A&E’s drama pilot The Occult.
