Sarah Goodwill just wrapped on DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, which is going to be DC Comics’ most ambitious (and some would say, risky) superhero spinoff series for The CW, following in the footsteps of hit series Arrow and The Flash. The new show acts as a miniseries spinoff of The Flash‘s time-bending mythology, in which a so-called time-traveling rogue Rip Hunter (Arthur Darvill) must assemble a group of both heroes and villains who we’ve met in both Arrow and The Flash, to confront an unstoppable threat to the planet… and to time itself.

Though the team starts out as a combination of disparate personalities – Ray Palmer (Brandon Routh), Firestorm (Victor Garber), White Canary (Caity Lotz), Hawkman (Falk Hentschel), Hawkgirl (Ciara Renee) and villains Heatwave (Dominic Purcell) and Cold (Wentworth Miller) – are told that they are destined to become… (you guessed it) legendary heroes of the future.

?The? upcoming American television series developed by Greg Berlanti, Andrew Kreisberg and Marc Guggenheim, who also executive produce with showrunner Phil Klemmer, and Sarah Schechter is scheduled to air on The CW, debuting in 2016 during the 2015–16 season.

Bookings for Untold Stories of the E.R., season 10/11:

Eric Bempong? – role of “Lucas” in episode “Mother-Daughter Drug Swap“.

Erika Thompson – role of “Dana” in episode “Bang-Up Bachelorette Party“.

Untold Stories of the E.R. is a docudrama television series which airs on TLC and Discovery Fit & Health.

In this program, real-life emergency room doctors tell about their most bizarre and puzzling cases. Typically these involve medical sabotage, violently or strangely acting patients, life-threatening injuries, or even situations in which the E.R. physician is too overwhelmed to handle the caseload and can’t transfer responsibility for the patient to someone else.

Often the doctors play themselves, and whenever possible the patients themselves take part in the reenactment as well. If they don’t appear as themselves during their medical emergency, they are often shown in brief interviews to show the public how they turned out. Occasionally, patients’ names are changed and actors play their roles. All cases are based on actual events, but are highly dramatized and not necessarily accurate from a clinical or technical standpoint.

Gigi Jackman just finished shooting a role on Romeo Section.

From acclaimed showrunner Chris Haddock (Da Vinci’s Inquest, Intelligence), The Romeo Section is an hour-long serialized espionage drama set in Vancouver. It follows spymaster Professor Wolfgang McGee, an academic who secretly manages a roster of espionage assets. These assets, referred to as Romeo or Juliet spies, are informants engaged in intimate relations with intelligence targets. Wolfgang himself is a semi-retired Romeo operator, having worked his way up in an officially deniable “service” under the umbrella of Canada’s Intelligence Community. They operate in a seemingly serene cosmopolitan city whose underside acts as a haven for drug barons, fugitives and covert financiers. The series has Haddock reunited with fellow executive producer Laura Lightbown; director Stephen Surjik; producer Arvi Liimatainen; and writer/co-executive producer Jesse McKeown.

It stars Andrew Airlie, Jemmy Chen, Juan Riedinger and Matt Bellefleur.

Mike Li wraps on Lookinglass, (fka Frankenstein Code).

Fox’s midseason drama series The Frankenstein Code is dropping Frankenstein from its title. It will now be known as Lookinglass.

Written by Crisis and Life creator Rand Ravich and executive produced by Howard Gordon, Lookinglass centers on Jimmy Pritchard, a disgraced, 75-year-old ex-sheriff, whose life ends at the hands of corrupt cops. He is brought back to life and given a second chance by a pair of young tech scientists as a 35-year-old (Rob Kazinsky) with unpredictable near-superhuman abilities. The name of the company of the two scientists, twins Otto (Adhir Kalyan) and Mary (Dilshad Vadsaria), is Lookinglass.

The producers of The Frankenstein Code (originally Frankenstein) had been looking to distance themselves from the famous moniker, stressing the fact that the series only takes inspiration from the basic Mary Shelley mythology of a man brought back to life by scientists playing God.

Tim DeKay and Ciara Bravo co-star in the series, executive produced by Ravich, Gordon and Michael Cuesta, who directed the pilot.

Maury Sterling has been cast in the recurring role of Jo’s ex-husband, Frumpkis. He also has a new wife, a southern belle named Charlene (“Smash” alum Megan Hilty).
