CLEANING LADY, THE (FOX) - Oliver Hudson has joined the cast of the upcoming drama as FBI Agent Garrett Miller, "an intensely competitive, brilliant, and chameleonic FBI agent on the trail of Thony (Elodie Yung) and the mob." He replaces FBI Special Agent Gavin Ross, "the character played in the pilot by Vincent Piazza who has exited the project." (Deadline.com)
DEXTER LIMITED SERIES (Showtime) - Jennifer Carpenter, who played the late Debra Morgan, is the latest alum set to return for the revival series. No details about her appearance were given. (Deadline.com)
UNTITLED JOE EXOTIC PROJECT (Amazon) - The Nicolas Cage-led take on the much-ballyhooed Joe Exotic will not be moving forward at the streamer. "We should clear the record," Cage told the publication. "I read two excellent scripts, which I did think were excellent, but I think Amazon ultimately felt that it was material that had become past tense because it took so long for it come together. They felt at one point that it was lightning in a bottle, but that point has since faded into the distance and it's no longer relevant." CBS Studios may shop the project elsewhere. (Variety.com)
