Here are two clips for two interesting shows that ABC recently picked up for their fall schedule. I haven’t read the script for Happy Town yet, but I’m hoping to get that done in the next couple of days and put a review up here.
DOLLHOUSE officially renewed, plus another pickup
Amy Acker
Nikki Finke is reporting that Fox has officially renewed Dollhouse for a second season, which confirms the report by The Hollywood Reporter that Fox “was leaning” towards renewing the show.
In other news, ABC has picked up the pilot Happy Town. The show is a small-town murder mystery from Josh Appelbaum, Andre Nemec and Scott Rosenberg. The cast includes Geoff Stults, Lauren German, Dean Winters, Amy Acker, Sam Neill, John Patrick Amedori, Sarah Gadon, Jay Paulson and Robert Wisdom.
I’m not sure what this does for Amy Acker’s inclusion in the second season of Dollhouse, and even though I’m hopeful she will be able to appear in both, chances are she will be written out of Dollhouse as a way for Fox to trim the budget of the show.
