DEADLIER THAN THE MALE (TNT) - Amy Brenneman and Ashley Madekwe have both joined the cast of the drama pilot. The former will play Mary, "who after years of searching for her missing daughter, has become a professional grieving mother.

The latter then is set as Lisa, "Pete's (Enrique Murciano) younger wife. Pete was her therapist at one point, but Lisa found the shift from patient to partner marginalizing. When she starts to suspect Pete of having an affair, her own demons of distrust and paranoia begin to resurface." (Deadline.com)

Julie Plec would presumably executive produce for Warner Bros. Television. Danielle Rose Russell will play the teenage incarnation of the character this season. (Deadline.com)
