Doubleday will play Eloise "Ellie" Roth, "a quirky, eternally optimistic, up-and-coming associate who strikes an immediate friendship with her new colleague, Mia (Shahi)." Adams portrays Monica Moore, "who has a fearless intensity thanks to a long career with the FBI, where she's had to dodge both bullets and institutional misogyny." And Kirby is Andrew Chang, "with a friendly demeanor and upbeat energy, Andrew Chang is the Deputy White House Counsel who joins FBI agent Monica Moore (Adams) in interrogating Judge Mia Bahari (Shahi) as part of the vetting process for a possible Supreme Court seat."

SIX OF CROWS (Netflix, New!) - Eric Heisserer is spearheading a "Shadow and Bone" spin-off series "to tackle the main events of author Leigh Bardugo's duology, including the jurda parem Grisha drug storyline," set after the season two finale. "One of the reasons, not all of them, that I got the privilege of working with Daegan Fryklind as co-showrunner in season 2 is that I was busy with the writers' room for Six of Crows. We are ready to launch that as its own story," Heisserer told the publication. "The eight-episode scripts are phenomenal and I'm really proud of my team for those." (EW.com)
WILLOW (Disney+) - Creator Jon Kasdan took to social media to further characterize yesterday's reports that his sequel series has been canceled. He indicates that while the show's main cast has been released and filming won't resume in the next 12 months, the already written second season may yet happen. (@JonKasdan)
