- Discovery Channel and Steven Spielberg are at work on an animated miniseries called Future Earth, which will depict what life will look like in 25, 50, and 100 years. Will there be hover bikes?! [Variety]
- Diane Lane is set to star in Cinema Verite, HBO’s upcoming film which looks behind-the-scenes of the groundbreaking 1970s documentary An American Family.

You forgot that Lizzy Caplan was also in True Blood.
I’m not sure I would lump Party Down in with Lizzy Caplan’s other one season wonders. That at least has a second season under it’s belt, even if each season is only 10 episodes long.
But if anybody deserves a hit series at this point it’s her. Unfortunately the synopsis of this new show doesn’t sound too intriguing.
