Rose Byrne & the OC’s Tate Donovan signs onto Glenn Close FX pilot
Tate Donovan has signed on to join Glenn Close in her recently announced F/X pilot. The pilot, which is still untitled, has a few names familiar to the theatre as well… Rose Byrne (Marie Antoinette) and Zeljko Ivanek (Oz; 24).
Bryne will play the central character Ellen Parsons, “a beautiful, self-possessed attorney fresh out of law school who lands her dream job working for Patty Hughes (Close), America’s foremost high-stakes litigator,” the trade mag describes.
Set in New York, the drama will also feature Donovan as “Hughes’ senior legal associate and most trusted adviser,” and Ivanek as “a Southern legal war horse, Hughes’ opposing attorney in a major case that would play out during the show’s first season.”
It is nice to finally see some new details emerge about this new pilot. And I have always enjoyed Tate Donovan back from his Friends days, so this should be one to watch. No word yet as to when this might be premiered, but production on the series is set to begin in February.
