THE SPANISH PRINCESS will follow Catherine of Aragon, the beautiful young princess of Spain who was promised the English throne since she was a child. She arrives in a grey, rain lashed England with her glorious and diverse court including her lady in waiting Lina – an African Moor. She is Princess of Wales now, but when her husband Prince Arthur dies suddenly, the throne seems lost to Catherine. Until she claims her marriage was never consummated and that as a virgin she may set her sights on the new heir, the charismatic and headstrong Prince Harry who will one day rule as King Henry VIII.
MULTICAM SITCOM PILOTS
EMILY OSMENT TO LEAD '25'
Good and bad news from the TV comedy world. Sad news is that Freeform is ending its sitcom Young and Hungry with the remaining ten episodes of the fifth season which will air from June 20th. The good news is that its star Emily Osment has booked a lead role in new CBS multicam sitcom pilot 25 which follows twenty something Kyle (Matt Shively), who comes to Austin to finally convince his old best friend from camp, Kate (Osment), that they are perfect for each other. Unfortunately, she just got engaged. A lot of guys would give up; Kyle is not one of those guys. But to Kyle’s surprise, even though he came to town looking for “the one,” he might end up with much more than that.
TONE BELL AND NINA DOBREV TO LEAD 'FAM' SITCOM AT CBS
Another of our favourite comedians Tone Bell, whose Disjointed has just been cancelled, will take the lead in CBS multicam sitcom FAM next to Nina
Dobrev who plays a woman whose dreams of an upstanding life with her new fiancé, Jay (Tone Bell), and his upstanding family are dashed when her train wreck younger half sister (Odessa Adlon) comes to live with her to escape their train wreck of a father. Bell's Jay is a sophisticated NYU history professor who comes from old money but is refreshingly unaffected and down-to-earth despite his refined background. Deeply in love with Clem (Dobrev), he proposes to her — much to the delight of his parents, Walt (Brian Stokes Mitchell) and Rose (Sheryl
Lee Ralph), who think Clem is a real catch. But he learns that Clem has not been completely honest about a few key elements in her life: For example, her father isn’t actually dead — and it drives a wedge of mistrust between them that might not be easily mended.
