FOX's 24: LIVE ANOTHER DAY
- Emmy winner Judy Davis has decided to exit the upcoming event series due to personal reasons. She was to recur on the season as Margot, a British national and the widow of a notorious terrorist.

ABC's ONCE UPON A TIME
- Eric Lange is the latest Lost alum headed to the fairytale drama series. He will appear in the Episode 18 of the third season as a young version of King Leopold - previously played by Richard Schiff. In the episode, Leopold is described as grounded, humble and not afraid to open his heart, coveting more from marriage than just a political arrangement.
NBC's COMMUNITY
- Little is known about the cult comedy's fifth season finale, but it has been confirmed that will be a two-part even. Additionally, The Office alum B.J. Novak will appear in the first half of the finale as "a TV star in a sexy new series."
