TNT is moving forward with a new medical drama series from producer David E. Kelley (Ally McBeal, Chicago Hope) titled Monday Mornings.  The series is based on the book by Dr. Sanjay Gupta, M.D., a practicing neurosurgeon and CNN’s chief medical correspondent.  The drama’s ensemble cast includes Ving Rhames, Alfred Molina, Jamie Bamber, Jennifer Finnigan, Bill Irwin, Keong Sim, Sarayu Rao and Emily Swallow.  TNT has ordered 10 episodes for the first season and has slated the series to premiere in summer 2013.  Monday Mornings, produced by TNT Originals and David E. Kelley Productions, is set at the fictional Chelsea General Hospital in Portland, OR and follows the lives of doctors as they confront personal and professional losses.  Kelley and Gupta both serve as executive producers on the series and Bill D’Elia was an EP on the pilot episode as well as the director; Kelley also penned the pilot.  In addition, TNT is working with Turner Broadcasting System International, Inc. to produce this global series.  Monday Mornings will air on TNT as well as Turner networks worldwide and will be distributed by TBS International outside the US and Canada. 

Independent producer and distributor Entertainment Studios, Inc. finalized the cast for its new sitcom, Mr. Box Office debuting this fall.  The pilot episode is now complete starring Bill Bellamy, Jon Lovitz, Vivica A. Fox, Keshia Knight Pulliam, Rick Fox, Gary Busey and Tim Meadows.  Entertainment Studios ordered 104 episodes of the comedy about a big movie star (Bellamy) who is sentenced to community service teaching English at an inner-city high school in South Central L.A.  Production on the full series will begin this summer for its planned fall 2012 launch.
