WEDNESDAY CELEBS
Q: Now that “The Catch” has been canceled, can you tell me what Mireille Enos is up to?
– Christina M., via Facebook A: Mireille has been cast as War, one the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse, in Neil Gaiman’s upcoming television adaptation of his novel “Good Omens.” There’s a boatload of talent already on board for this project, including Michael Sheen, David Tennant and Jon Hamm. The series, which is now shooting in the U.K., is set for a 2019 premiere on Amazon Prime. The versatile actress also is filming the HBO movie “My Dinner with Herve,” with Peter Dinklage, Jamie Dornan, David Strathairn and Andy Garcia. Peter portrays Herve Villechaize, co-star of “Fantasy Island,” the hit fantasy/drama series that ran on ABC from 1977 to 1984. Mireille plays Kathy Self, Herve’s longtime girlfriend. *** Q: Can you give me any news about “Nashville”? It will be back for another season, correct?
– Damian R., via email A: “Nashville” will indeed return to TNT this coming January for its sixth season (no exact date as yet). And don’t forget, if you don’t have TNT, you can catch each new episode of the show the day after air on Hulu. I also have some casting news: Josh Stamberg has been cast in the recurring role of Darius, the extremely charismatic founder of a selfactualization movement that has transformed many lives. Also, musician/songwriter and acting newcomer Jake Etheridge has been cast in the recurring role of Sean, who is a recent military veteran suffering from severe PTSD who has yet to embrace his talent and passion for music. Also of note, in season five, Jake cowrote six songs featured on the show, including “Burn to Dark” and “As the Crow Flies.” Rainee Lyleson has been cast in the recurring role of Alannah, a beautiful singer-songwriter who starts out as a backup singer but soon will be discovered for the star she is meant to be. Nic Luken has been cast in the recurring role of Jonah Ford. Jonah is a famous male pop star who’s handsome, extremely confident and charming, exuding all the qualities of a superstar. And finally, Dylan Arnold has been cast in the recurring role of Twig, a childhood friend/ entourage member to Jonah. Twig navigates this lifestyle by guarding his anxiety and pain with a caustic, brilliant sense of humor. *** READERS: A few weeks back, I mentioned the date for the season premiere of TNT’s “The Librarians,” which was supposed to be a two-episode premiere on Wednesday, Dec. 20. Well, the network is moving the launch date of the hugely popular fantasy series. Season four now will have a ONE-episode premiere on Wednesday, Dec. 13, at 8 p.m. (ET/PT), with episode two making its debut the following Wednesday, and so on. Looks like Christmas will be coming even earlier for “The Librarians” fans. Email Cindy at King Features Weekly Service at letters@cindyelavsky.com.
