2019 NEW MULTICAM SITCOMS
BRENT MORIN JOINS QUAID'S MERRY HAPPY WHATEVER
Our dearest Brent Morin returns to TV sitcoms!
In one of our previous reports on new multicam sitcom pilot orders I told you that Netflix has placed an eight episode order for the first Christmas season of MERRY HAPPY WHATEVER comedy in which Dennis Quaid will play Don Quinn, a strong willed patriarch who must balance the demands of his complicated family with the stress of the Christmas season when his youngest daughter comes home for the holidays with a new boyfriend. Now one of our most favourite comedians Brent Morin has joined the cast together with Bridget Mendler. They've already played a couple in one of the best sitcoms ever Undateable, and now he will play her boyfriend, a struggling musician from LA who will have his hands full as he meets his girlfriend’s imposing father and close knit family over a stressful and emotional Christmas break. Ashley Tisdale, Adam Rose and Hayes MacArthur will also star, Tisdale as the other daughter, Rose as her husband and Hayes as the only son in the family.

DAVID WALTON TO LEAD THE US PROJECT AT CBS
CBS has found leads for their new hybrid sitcom THE US PROJECT in which Elizabeth Alderfer and David Walton will star opposite Parker Young, Vanessa and Laura Marano! It will be a comedy told through
Elizabeth Alderfer (Disjointed) and David Walton (9JKL)
interviews and vignettes spanning 10 years, about how an unlikely couple becomes an unlikely family. Alderfer plays a woman who is not sure her current boyfriend is the right one just when she meets Walton's Kevin, a divorced father of two teens who will transform the next decade of her life.

KATHERINE HEIGL IN OUR HOUSE!
In the slate of new multicam sitcoms with biracial couples as leads, the biggest one is OUR HOUSE also over at CBS which has just cast Katherine
This will be Katherine's first sitcom ever!
Heigl as lead opposite Malcolm Barrett. The story follows a devoted dad, Shawn (Barrett), and mom, Bridget (Heigl), who are committed to raising their children with the love and support the mom never got as a kid but discover how difficult that is with her insane parents and siblings back in the picture. Heigl’s Bridget tries her best to be a laid back, progressive parent like her therapist husband, but often finds herself reverting to the old school style of her parents. Now that she’s moved back into her childhood home, surrounded by her parents and crazy siblings, finding a balance between these wildly different parenting styles is going to be more difficult than she imagined.

UNITED WE FALL AT ABC
Rival ABC has tied Will Sasso and Christina Vidal as leads of their new sitcom UNITED WE FALL a profoundly realistic, multicultural comedy that shows how, when two people, Bill (Sasso) and Jo (Vidal) with young children
Will Sasso will be married to Christina Vidal!
and overzealous extended families truly love each other, barely anything is possible. I've already told you that Jane Curtin will play Bill's difficult mother and Jason Michael Snow Bill's brother!

STEVEN WEBER 2BE UNINSURED
Steven Weber will be Fran's husband!
Definitely one of the most exciting news of the season is that Fran Drescher is returning to the small screens in NBC's UNINSURED sitcom which revolves around young parents Dave (Adam Pally) and Rebecca (Abby Elliott), who end up having to take care of Dave’s parents, Elliot and Linda (Drescher) who have mishandled their finances and need help to pay down a sizable debt. Now they've cast Steven Weber as Dave's father Elliot! Weber will still play in three other series in which he has regular roles!

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN 
I've also told you that CBS has cast Briga Heelan and Michael Angarano in TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN a hybrid sitcom which centres on Evan (Angarano) who, with the help of his group of friends, sets out to accomplish a

SF SATURDAY: SAM STRIKE IS ROLAND DESCHAIN IN AMAZON'S THE DARK TOWER STEPHEN KING SF SERIES! KRYPTON SF SERIES SEASON 2 TRAILER IS HERE!

SAM STRIKE TO LEAD
THE DARK TOWER SF SERIES
Sam Strike will be the young Deschain!
I'm a bit late with this one, but according to this week's news, Amazon has cast young Sam Strike as the lead star of their THE DARK TOWER fantasy series which is getting a pilot order even though the movie version was a rather big flop two years ago. He will play famous gunslinger Roland Deschain in the small screen adaptation of Stephen King's famous sf saga. As Deadline reports, it will be independent from the film and is meant to be a more faithful retelling of the book than the movie was. The story should take place many years before the events in the film focusing on Roland Deschain’s origin story – how he first became a gunslinger and got his guns, his first conflict with the man in black, his first love and his first mission as a gunslinger. As another addition to the cast, Jasper Pääkkönen has been cast as Marten, a man Roland is out to kill.

MASTERS OF UNIVERSE
WANTS TO GIVE NOAH CENTINEO
Noah Centineo could be the new He-Man
THE THRONE OF GREY SCULL?
Something that was met with mostly negative reactions today around the web is info that Noah Centineo is wanted for the lead role in the epic movie adaptation of MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE in which he would play Prince Adam who turns into He-Man. The movie was previously supposed to be made in a very rich and epic Lord of the Rings style by David S. Goyer but he left the project which is now being directed by Aaron and Adam Nee. Noah Centineo is only known for starring in Netflix comedies To All the Boys I've Loved Before and How to Build a Better Boy! Adam, the prince of Eternia is a blond haired muscly mediaeval Nordic type of hunk with a massive sword in the comic books and animated movie, so no one knows why they've opted for a very dark type as Centineo.

But Arthur’s mother, Duchess Constance, the ruler of Brittany, will certainly stand in her way. To claim the crown and become the most powerful King in Europe Arthur needs to stay alive, outwit the opposition and choose his friends wisely.
