HBO's Mamma Dallas; NBC's Game of Silence; and TBS' Quality Time.
HBO's MAMMA DALLAS
- Augustus Prew (Kick-Ass 2, Klondike) has been cast as the lead in the comedy pilot written and directed by Mike White, which just received an official production order. The project follows a conservative family in Texas who unwittingly hire a hard-living drag queen, Liberty (Prew), as their live-in nanny. Liberty appears to be an attractive woman with a flirty side - but she's really a drag queen with an upbeat personality. On a path that leads to jail or prostitution or both, Liberty (also known as Albert) sees a future that will destroy his basically optimistic spirit and re-invents himself to get a job as a nanny to three children of a conservative, Texan family. White serves as executive producer, with Dede Gardner.
NBC's GAME OF SILENCE
