MORE (HBO Max) - Chris O'Shea has been cast in the drama pilot as Timothy Wilde, "a lesser British aristocrat engaged to Londyn (Christian Serratos), making him one half of 'Lonothy,' social media‘s most buzzed-about and closely-watched celebrity couples." (Variety.com)
PALACE, THE (HBO) - Hugh Grant is bound for the limited series in a yet-to-be-revealed guest role. (Deadline.com)
REMIX (FOX, New!) - Sam Laybourne and Mnelik Belilgne are set to team for a new comedy at the network which "follows a progressive, podcast-loving millennial who tries to modernize his father's old school funk recording studio in an effort to save the family business and bond with his outdated, opinionated music producer dad.

Feiler then is Bella, "who is deeply engrained in the fabric of the Kurc family and is Jakob's (Amit Rahav) long-time love." And Yaron is set as the "thoughtful and diligent, Mila, who holds a degree in classical music." (Deadline.com)
