"We're assessing our schedule to ensure we have the right content mix to support our network strategies. We are grateful to JoJo Fletcher, Jordan Rodgers, and the executive producers of Big D for their partnership through the process," a T-Nets spokeswoman told the publication. (Deadline.com)

Navigating the waters of divorce and child-sharing gets hilariously more complicated for Jim when the owner of his favorite sports team (Faison) enters the picture and wins Julia's heart." Faison plays Trey, "owner of the Boston Celtics, a proud MIT grad and Julia's new fianceĢ." Spencer's Julia is "the successful owner of her own crisis management firm." (Deadline.com)
WHITES, THE (Showtime, New!) - Ethan Hawke is attached to star in a limited series at the network based on Richard Price's novel of the same name: "Every detective is haunted by their White Whale, the perpetrator who got away because the justice system failed. Billy Graves (Hawke), once a rising star in his department and former member of a group of well-respected cops called the "Wild Geese," walks away from NYPD Homicide and joins the Nightwatch division, where his cases end when he clocks out - but his past comes calling when a seemingly straightforward murder case involving a White Whale unfolds, threatening his career, enduring friendships, and family." Jez Butterworth is behind the project with T-Street's Ram Bergman, Rian Johnson and Nena Rodrigue; Under the Influence's Ethan Hawke and Ryan Hawke; and Price also executive producing for Civic Center Media and MRC Television.
