Yesterday 'Parks and Recreation' fans were shocked to learn that both series regulars Rob Lowe and Rashida Jones were planning departures midway through the upcoming sixth season of NBC's acclaimed comedy. Now, it seems Lowe may already have rebounded with his own NBC sitcom on the horizon, while 'Parks' showrunner Mike Schur has opened up to address the departures.
Earlier today we heard the news that 'Parks and Recreation' guest actor Lucy Lawless would return for the upcoming season 6 premiere, but the series may have a much bigger spot to fill that originally thought. New reports making the round suggest that series regulars Rob Lowe (Chris Traeger) and Rashida Jones (Ann Perkins) will depart the series.
Among the multiple ongoing developments from the Television Critics Association press tour, NBC has reaffirmed their commitment to doing more limited series, announcing several new projects. Not only will the network look to reboot horror classic 'Rosemary's Baby,' but also a new adaptation of Stephen King's 'The Tommyknockers,' a Hilary Clinton miniseries starring Diane Lane, and a 'Plymouth' story on par with History's 'The Bible.'
A few weeks ago we heard that 'Parks and Recreation' season 6 had cast 'Veronica Mars' herself, Kristen Bell, to play Leslie's Eagleton doppleganger, but it seems Leslie isn't the only Parks Department employee with an evil twin! Mustachioed man's man Sam Elliott has been tapped for an appearance in the new season as well, with a surprising connection to Ron Swanson!
Just when you thought the guest stars of 'Parks and Recreation' couldn't get any more beautiful, from Christie Brinkley to Kristen Bell, along comes Heidi Klum! The Sports Illustrated swimsuit legend and 'Project Runway' host has officially joined the ranks of 'Parks and Rec' season 6 premiere guest stars, but whom will the iconic runway star be modeling when the Parks department heads to London?
Some weeks before 'Parks and Recreation' season 6 added 'Veronica Mars' sleuth Kristen Bell to its upcoming run, the long-running NBC comedy was announced to have an hourlong premiere set in London. And while the series will have its own reasons for hopping across the pond, the true genesis for the idea comes from star Chris Pratt's presence in the city shooting Marvel's 'Guardians of the Galaxy'!
All eyes are certainly on Kristen Bell because of the upcoming kickstarted feature film adaptation of 'Veronica Mars,' which is currently in production in California, but it seems the 'House of Lies' star had one major secret to keep under wraps: Bell will move from Neptune to Pawnee rival Eagleton, as she'll be guesting in 'Parks and Recreation' season 6!
By the end of this year's 'SNL' season finale (which was hosted by 'Argo' director Ben Affleck), it was obvious that series veteran Bill Hader would be depart the series. But while it's still unknown if fellow veteran Jason Sudeikis will also be saying goodbye, it's now clear that Fred Armisen's final tribute performance was meant to confirm the 'Portlandia' star's 'SNL' exit.
Back before NBC officially decided to renew the darkly delicious 'Hannibal' for season 2, series creator Bryan Fuller expressed a desire to cast glam rock legend David Bowie as Hannibal's oft-mentioned uncle, among other envisioned castings. Now, Fuller has reportedly extended an official offer to Bowie, and has another 'Pushing Daisies' alum in mind for the literary role of Barney!
