DEMASCUS (AMC) - Solvan "Slick" Naim has been tapped to direct the first two episodes of the series as well as executive produce. (Deadline.com)
DISQUIET (AMC, New!) - Shoshannah Stern has landed a new drama at the company which "follows Cassie Edwards, a Certified Deaf Interpreter (CDI), who is called back home to assist in a case involving the mysterious death of the former head of the school for the Deaf she herself attended.

DRIVER, THE (AMC) - Paula Malcomson will star opposite Giancarlo Esposito in the upcoming drama as Ros. No other details were given. (Deadline.com)
GAME OF THRONES (HBO) - George R.R. Martin took to his blog with updates on the latest live-action spin-off series "Ten Thousand Ships" with Amanda Segel; "Sea Snake" with Bruno Heller; "Knight of the Seven Kingdoms" with Steve Conrad; and the recently revealed "Snow" starring Kit Harington: "All four of these successor shows are still in the script stage. Outlines and treatments have been written and approved, scripts have been written, notes have been given, second and third drafts have been written. So far, that's all. This is the way television works. Please note: nothing has been green lit yet, and there is no guarantee when or if it will be... on any of these shows. The likelihood of all four series getting on the air... well, I'd love it, but that's not the way it works, usually." (GeorgeRRMartin.com)
GORDITA CHRONICLES (HBO Max) - Executive producer Brigitte Muñoz-Liebowitz has signed a new overall deal with Sony Pictures Television, home to the newly launched comedy series. (Deadline.com)

The show will blend soapy teen drama with the neon noir aesthetic, all while flipping nearly every Asian stereotype - honor, martial arts, destiny, lineage, parental sacrifice - on its head." Archie Studios' Jon Goldwater and 3AD's Daniel Dae Kim and John Cheng will also executive produce for Warner Bros. Television. (Deadline.com)

Now he's got the most challenging task of his career: training the outspoken and outside-the-box rookie Clark, whose style will be a challenge to his painfully won beliefs." (Deadline.com)
SEAL TEAM (Paramount+) - Raffi Barsoumian has joined the cast of the upcoming sixth season as Omar, "a Senior Chief with fifteen years of experience as a SEAL. The son of Syrian immigrants, Omar has a deep understanding of the Middle East, and calls upon that knowledge to help navigate missions in the region." (Deadline.com)
