Jaime Pressly joins NBC 'Bad Girls' remake

Jaime Pressly has signed up for a leading role in NBC's upcoming Bad Girls pilot.

The I Hate My Teenage Daughter actress will play prison warden Melinda in the drama, who is said to be a "sexy, ominous woman with a sadistic streak", reports Deadline.

The move will see Pressly return to NBC after she starred in My Name is Earl as Joy, a role which earned her an Emmy award.

Bad Girls is a remake of the UK's ITV drama, which ran from 1999 to 2006 and followed the inmates and officers in a women's prison.

CSI actress Tracee Ellis Ross recently signed up to appear in the drama, while Jurnee Smollett (Friday Night Lights), Zoe Boyle (Downton Abbey), Rick Gonzalez (Reaper), Amy Smart (Crank) and Karolina Wydra (House) will also star.

Shameless showrunner John Wells will executive produce the pilot alongside Andrew Stearn and Nancy Pimental, as well as a team of British producers from Shed Media.

Pressly revealed last year that she was hesitant to return to TV after My Name is Earl was cancelled.

I Hate My Teenage Daughter was itself cancelled earlier this week.

Twilight' star Billy Burke becomes series lead in 'Revolution

Twilight's Billy Burke has been promoted to the lead role in NBC's Revolution.

The pilot - from JJ Abrams (Lost) and Eric Kripke (Supernatural) - is set in a devastated future world where all forms of energy have mysteriously ceased to exist.

A search is currently ongoing for a new actor to play the supporting role of Bass. Tracy Spiradakos (Being Human), Graham Rogers (Struck By Lightning) and Anna Lise Phillips (Terra Nova) will also appear in the project.

Last month, Breaking Bad actor Giancarlo Esposito was cast as Captain Neville, a hardened military man with a secret agenda.

Ringer' star Nestor Carbonell joins ABC pilot 'The Smart One

Nestor Carbonell has joined the cast of ABC pilot The Smart One.

The Ringer actor will portray a wealthy real estate developer who is the ex-boyfriend of Portia de Rossi's character Jude.

According to TVLine, Carbonell will initially appear in the show as a guest star. While his contract is believed to have an option to make his character a series regular, he has put the show in second position to Ringer, which will take priority if it is renewed by The CW.

The Smart One is a single-camera comedy which follows de Rossi's character Judith 'Jude' Swann as she starts work for her less intelligent sister Candy Swann Cooper, played by Watchmen and Inferno star Malin Akerman.

The show includes de Rossi's wife Ellen DeGeneres on its team of executive producers and the pilot script has been written by Donald Todd (Ugly Betty, Samantha Who?, Hart of Dixie).

Jean Smart will play Jude and Candy's mother on The Smart One, while David Arquette has been cast as Candy's husband.

Sheen will play his real-life son Charlie Sheen's father on the upcoming show, according to Access Hollywood.

"Yeah, it's very true," Charlie said of the rumour that Martin would be joining the programme.

Charlie recently apologised for his behaviour last year, saying that he didn't "recognise parts" of himself when looking back at his public antics.

Anger Management will premiere in June with back-to-back episodes.
