TV Tidbits: ‘American Horror’ Star Taissa Farmiga May Return, CW Goes ‘Hunger Games’

The CW Has Changed Its Mind: It’s baaack! The Selection — a Hunger Games-esque pilot based on a novel by Kiera Cass that was initially made for this year, has been given new life. The show is set 300 years in the future, and it stars a young woman named America Singer who goes on a Bachelor-like competition show to be the nation’s next queen. Friday Night Lights‘ Aimee Teegarden starred in the original pilot, but she is not attached to the rewritten version. [EW]
