1ST PICS FROM FRESHLY ORDERED NEW SHOWS: TARSEM'S 'EMERALD CITY', TED DANSON, KRISTEN BELL'S 'THE GOOD PLACE', 'MARLON', SF TIMELESS', JASON SUDEIKIS' 'SON OF ZORN'

FRESHLY NEW ORDERED SHOWS
THE FIRST PHOTOS ARE IN!
We're continuing our TV renewals and cancellations (The Mysteries of Laura is the latest to be killed off) weekend, people, with first photos from the freshly ordered new series!

EMERALD CITY  
First of, check out brand new photos from out most anticipated new show next season, Tarsem directed visual extravaganza EMERALD CITY NBC's modernized take on the Wizard of Oz tale. Florence Kasumba is the Wicked Witch of the East, Adria Arjona is Dorothy Gale and Oliver Jackson-Cohen is Lucas, her love interest. Joely Richardson is Glinda and Vincent D’Onofrio the Wizard of Oz.  It is set in a mystical land of competing kingdoms, lethal warriors, dark magic and a bloody battle for supremacy, the fabled Land of Oz in a way you’ve never seen before, where wicked witches don’t stay dead for long and a young girl becomes a headstrong warrior who holds the fate of kingdoms in her hands.

'THE GOOD PLACE' SITCOM
NBC has also ordered a whole series of new singlecamera sitcom THE GOOD PLACE! When Eleanor (Kristen Bell) has a brush with the afterlife, she realizes she hasn’t been a very good person. So she works to fix that, aided by an “afterlife mentor” played by Ted Danson.


'MARLON' SITCOM  
Also getting a series order at NBC is Marlon Wayans' new multi camera sitcom MARLON! A loving (but immature) father committed to co-parenting his two kids with his very-together ex-wife. While his misguided fatherly advice, unstoppable larger-than-life personality and unpredictable Internet superstardom might get in the way sometimes, for Marlon, family really always does come first — even if he's the biggest kid of all.

'TIMELESS' SF SERIES
Another series to lend a series order at NBC is TIMELESS starring Matt Lanter.  In the sf series a mysterious criminal steals a secret state-of-the-art time machine, intent on destroying America by changing the past. An unexpected team: a scientist, soldier and history professor must use the machine’s prototype to travel back in time to critical events. While they must make every effort not to affect the past themselves, they must also stay one step ahead of this dangerous fugitive. Can this handpicked team uncover the mystery behind it all and end his destruction before it’s too late?


SUDEIKIS IS 'SON OF ZORN'
Fox has ordered unusual half hour comedy series mixing live action with CGI characters SON OF ZORN with the voice of Jason Sudeikis. Upon arriving home on Earth for the first time in 10 years, Zorn, a fully animated, legendary warrior, finds that reconnecting with his live-action son and ex-wife while suffering through a mundane office job and the banality of suburban life is harder than waging actual war in his distant, mystical homeland of Zephyria. Stay tuned, the spy will be updating this post as the new posters and teasers arrive  next week!

'SPARK' STEAMPUNK SERIES
LENA OLIN, TOM BRITTNEY CAST
TV news for you today, new stars are being added to the cast of ABC's fantasy series SPARK pilot! Lena Olin (Welcome To Sweden) and gorgeous Tom Brittney (The Syndicate) will play mother and son in this lavish drama series of passion, greed and hope in a Steampunk reality, circa 2016. Set in an alternate history where gas and coal fuel the world, the drama centres on the battle for power between two rival families and a rebellious young woman with a spark of invention that could level both their empires.
Olin will play Hazel Stockton who now controls the powerful Stockton Coal Company using her wealth more altruistically than her arch rivals at Lavelle Gas — but despite her philanthropic outreaches to the city’s poor, she still craves absolute power, and is not above using strong-arm tactics to achieve it. However, when deadly sabotage starts claiming innocent lives across the city, she denies any involvement to her son Aiden, Captain of the Investigative Division of the Watch, who is investigating the incidents. Tracy Ifeachor will play one of the forensic investigators.

NBC ORDERS KRISTEN BELL, TEN DANSON 'GOOD PLACE' NBC SITCOM, 'MARLON' WAYANS AND 'POWERLESS' SITCOM PILOTS! 'MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN' TRAILER WITH MARTIN HENDERSON, JENNIFER GARNER

'GOOD PLACE' SITCOM
KRISTEN BELL & TED DANSON
In TV news, 'Deadline' reports  that NBC has cast Kristen Bell and Ted Danson for their new comedy series GOOD PLACE which has been ordered straight to series in 13 episodes! It centres on Eleanor (Bell, who will not be leaving HOUSE OF LIES for this), a woman from New Jersey who comes to realize that she hasn’t been a very good person. She decides to turn over a new leaf by learning what it actually means to be “good” or “bad,” and then trying to make up for her past behaviour. Danson plays Michael, who, through an unlikely set of circumstances, comes to be Eleanor’s guide through her self-designed self-improvement course.

NEW NBC SITCOM PILOTS
MARLON WAYANS COMEDY
Speaking of NBC's comedies, they've also ordered a pilot for MARLON multicamera sitcom which would star famous comedian Marlon Wayans! Loosely inspired by his life, it centres on an inappropriate but loving father (Wayans) committed to successfully co-parenting with his polar opposite ex-wife.
'POWER LESS' COMEDY
They've also ordered a pilot for POWERLESS single camera sitcom  set at one of the worst insurance companies in America — with the twist being that it also takes place in the universe of DC Comics. It will focus on POWERLESS folk working there who often envy the men and women outside their window who make headlines with their supernatural powers.

'MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN'
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE IMPOSSIBLE
The only trailer I have for you is the new one for Christian propaganda movie MIRACLES FROM HEAVEN out around Easter this March!  Based on the book 'Three Miracles From Heaven' by Christy Beam it revolves around a young girl suffering from a rare digestive disorder who finds herself miraculously cured after surviving a terrible accident. Jennifer Garner and Martin Henderson play her parents, while Queen Latifah also features in the Patricia Riggen directed movie.
