Exclusive: NBC’s Chicago Fire has cast KaDee Strickland for a recurring role in Season 13. The new season begins Sept. 25 at 8 p.m. on NBC and next day on Peacock.

She will portray Monica Pascal, the new Fire Chief Dom Pascal’s (Dermot Mulroney) estranged wife. As Deadline reported in July, Mulroney joined the popular firefighter drama as Boden’s (Eamonn Walker) successor following his exit as a series regular in the Season 12 finale.

Before Boden was promoted to Deputy Commissioner of the Chicago Fire Department, he had chosen Christopher Herrmann (David Eigenberg) as his successor.

Sony Pictures Television is shutting down TriStar TV, the studio behind projects including Apple TV+’s “The Afterparty” and AMC’s “Lucky Hank.”

TriStar will be absorbed into the company’s centralized development group. Development on the current TriStar slate will be handled by Sony Pictures Television’s drama development department going forward.

Jennifer Turner, who has led TriStar TV since January 2022, and senior vice president of development Nicole Norwood, who joined in November 2022, are exiting the studio as part of the move. Additional staff cuts related to Tristar TV’s closing are not expected.

Spt’s decision to change course with its boutique label strategy comes after the company’s Gemstone label was folded into the main studio in November 2022.

In addition to “Lucky Hank” and “The Afterparty,” other series produced by TriStar TV include Prime Video’s “Good Girls Revolt” and “The Last Tycoon,” Hulu’s “Shut Eye,...

After a nine-year revival, Sony’s TriStar Television label, which was behind such series as The Afterparty, is being phased out again. Its two top executives, EVP Jennifer Turner, who ran the unit for the past two and a half years, and SVP Nicole Norwood, will be departing the studio. TriStar Television has no current series on the air. Its development slate will be taken over by Sony Pictures Television’s drama development team.

This marks the second such move of centralizing development under Katherine Pope since she became President of Sony Pictures TV in July 2022. The TV studio’s other boutique label, Gemstone, was folded into Spt in November 2022.

With the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes in our rear-view mirror, it seems we're getting some big casting news updates about every Dick Wolf series.

The latest involves the original Law & Order, and this one won't go down well with a lot of fans.

TVLine reports that Jeffrey Donovan is stepping away from the NBC procedural.

While details are being kept under wraps, the outlet states the two sides parted ways due to creative differences.

Donovan, for his part, has not spoken out about the situation.

He has played the role of Detective Cosgrove for two seasons beginning with Law & Order Season 21, which was the series' first season back after over a decade off the air.

"Frank is a tough-as-nails detective that seeks justice by whatever means necessary. Every legal drama needs a bad cop, and Donovan shines," reads his official character description, according to NBC.

Law & Order:...

Jeffrey Donovan will not be returning as Detective Cosgrove for Season 23 of “Law & Order,” Variety has confirmed.

According to TVLine, who was first to report the news, producers are already on the search for a new series regular. The outlet reports sources claim the two parted ways due to creative differences.

Donovan joined the cast in 2021, portraying Detective Cosgrove in Seasons 21 and 22 of the series revival. Cosgrove, a junior detective, joined the NYPD team as the new partner of Det. Kevin Bernard (Anthony Anderson). “Frank is a tough-as-nails detective that seeks justice by whatever means necessary. Every legal drama needs a bad cop, and Donovan shines,” reads his official character description, per NBC.

Probably best known for his leading work as former CIA operative Michael Westen on the USA series “Burn Notice” for seven seasons, Donovan also gained recognition with notable roles on FX’s “Fargo” and Hulu’s “Shut Eye.

Exclusive: Actor Luis Guzman has signed on to star in the feature Miles Away, which Grandave International is launching as part of its slate at the American Film Market.

Written and directed by Jackie Quinones, synopsis reads: A dreamer making ends meet as a rideshare driver is on a collision course with reality as she struggles with the hardships of poverty, bad decisions, and a mentally ill sister.

Previously, Ilene Chaiken served a 14-month stint as executive/producer and showrunner; the show’s co-executive producer Barry O’Brien was promoted to showrunner after her Feb. 2022 exit.

Shiban was an executive producer on the Netflix crime series “Ozark,” which starred Jason Bateman and Laura Linney. He was nominated for both an Emmy and a WGA Award for writing the 2020 episode “Boss Fight.”

Previously, he was under an overall deal at Sony Television while serving as showrunner and executive producer of the Hulu series “Shut Eye.

Law & Order: Organized Crime has named its fifth showrunner.

Veteran showrunner John Shiban (Ozark, The X-Files) has been tapped to take over the helm of the fourth season of the Dick Wolf procedural. Shiban replaces David Graziano, with the Svu grad taking over the remainder of season three for Sean Jablonski.

Jablonski, who departed the Chris Meloni-led spinoff after creative differences, replaced Bryan Goluboff. The latter stepped in for Barry O’Brien, who was tapped as interim showrunner after original showrunner Ilene Chaiken departed.

John Shiban

Shiban joins Organized Crime after successful runs on Netflix’s Ozark, where he earned an Emmy nomination and WGA Award, and time on Hulu’s Shut Eye, The X-Files, Breaking Bad, DaVinci’s Demons, Hell on Wheels, The Vampire Diaries and Supernatural.

Original series boss Matt Olmstead was replaced by Ilene Chaiken before the spinoff made it to air, while Chaiken was replaced by Barry O’Brien midway through Season 2. O’Brien was succeeded by Bryan Goluboff, who lasted three months, before Sean Jablonski was appointed showrunner No. 4.

As Variety previously reported, Season 3 of “Law & Order: Organized Crime” was first run by Sean Jablonski then later “Svu” showrunner David Graziano. Barry O’Brien, Bryan Goluboff, Ilene Chaiken and Matt Olmstead previously held the title.

The Hulk introduced his mysterious son to the MCU in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law, but this stirred confusion regarding Skaar's unusual haircut. While rights issues have stopped Marvel Studios from developing a solo Hulk movie since 2008's The Incredible Hulk, the McU's Phase 4 introduced new Hulk-related characters to the franchise. While Emil Blonsky, a.k.a. Abomination, returned in Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings, Tatiana Maslany debuted as Jennifer Walters, Bruce Banner's cousin, in She-Hulk: Attorney at Law. Phase 4's legal comedy series also introduced one more intriguing Hulk character to the MCU, Bruce Banner's son, Skaar.

The Prisoner in His Palace will be produced by Parets and Renck for Sinestra in partnership with Fremantle and is being developed for Renck to direct. Bardenwerper, a former Airborne Ranger-qualified infantry officer,...

Warner Bros. Pictures dropped the official red band trailer for the film “House Party,” a raunchy, genre-bending comedy adventure co-produced by basketball legend LeBron James.

Starring actors Jacob Latimore and Tosin Cole, the trailer gives glimpses at some of the hilarity and mayhem to come in the upcoming release, including a scene where the duo find themselves in James’ house, talking to a hologram the athlete created to shower him in words of affirmation.

“He got a hologram of himself, just to give him compliments?” Latimore quips in the trailer.

The feature is a remake of a 1990 comedy by the same title, though the plot has been adapted for a new, modern audience. As opposed to the two leads being high-schoolers in search of a fun night, Latimore and Cole play two aspiring club promoters who decide to host a massive party to distract from their financial troubles after being...

No further details have been revealed about Donovan's character.

NBC officially picked up a 21st season of Law & Order earlier this year -- a decade after it was initially canceled.
