MARLEY SHELTON LEADS

'THE LOTTERY' DYSTOPIAN SF SHOW

Another science fiction series to come to us next year has also found its lead star: I have already informed you that Lifetime is preparing their sf show THE LOTTERY and now 'Deadline' writes that Marley Shelton will lead the cast in the dystopian thriller.  The story is set in a world where women have stopped having children, threatening extinction of the human race. When 100 embryos are successfully fertilized, a national lottery is held to decide the surrogates. The series centres on Dr. Alison Scott (Shelton), the brilliant fertility specialist whose breakthrough in fertilizing 100 viable eggs may have life-and-death consequences she could not have anticipated. Earlier this month, Michael Graziadei, Lesley Ann Brandt and Louise Lombard were already cast in the show.
