"I get a lot [of scripts]; it's just finding the right thing for the right time," Tim McGraw told Rolling Stone Country back in the fall. And it looks like the right time is now.
The country-singing actor's reps confirm with us that he is set to executive produce and star in Robbers, a new crime drama series for TNT. The show is based on the 2000 Christopher Cook novel of the same name, with its storyline about two drifters named Eddie and Ray Bob, who go on a bloody, law-breaking road trip across the state of Texas.

Filly Brown star Gina Rodriguez is set to topline the CW‘s drama pilot Jane The Virgin, in keeping with the project’s Latin roots. Based on the successful Venezuelan telenovela Juana la Virgen, Jane The Virgin, from CBS Studios, centers on Jane (Rodriguez), a hardworking religious girl who, due to a series of outrageous events, is accidentally artificially inseminated. Jennie Snyder Urman wrote the adaptation and is executive producing with Electus’ Ben Silverman as well as Gary Pearl and Jorge Granier. Brad Silberling, who directed the pilot for CW/CBS Studios drama Reign last season, has been tapped to direct. Last year, Rodriguez was cast in Fox drama pilot Wild Blue and had a talent holding deal with ABC the previous season. She is with Apa, Intellectual Artists and Jackoway Tyerman.

Last year, Jamie Kennedy got a lot of unwanted attention for hosting a trainwreck of an Orange County station’s New Year’s Eve special, but he wasn’t the only one to fail spectacularly while attempting to host a New Year’s show.

Fox has opted not to make drama pilot Wild Blue, which was ordered and partially cast last season before being pushed off-cycle. The project, an upstairs/downstairs look at the working men and women aboard an aircraft carrier, had a long development history. Originally titled The Bridge, the drama from writer Taylor Elmore (Justified), producer Mark Johnson and Sony Pictures TV was bought by Fox during the 2011-12 season. It didn’t go to pilot, but the network kept it in contention, rolling in to the following cycle. Justified executive producers Graham Yost and Michael Dinner were brought onboard in fall 2012 to help with a rewrite and Dinner to direct, giving the project additional clout.

Fox will not be setting sail with Wild Blue. The Navy drama pilot from Justified's Taylor Elmore and Graham Yost was described as a mixture of ER, The West Wing and Top Gun and revolved around the men and women on board a U.S. aircraft carrier equipped with a 500-foot landing strip, a nuclear reactor and 6,000 souls. The drama was an upstairs/downstairs look at the pressure-cooker lives of the U.S. Navy. The production was developed last pilot season and rolled off-cycle in March after talks with Tim McGraw to star in the drama fell through. The drama needed access to

Fox is postponing production on drama pilot Wild Blue, which has been moved off-cycle. Written by Taylor Elmore and to be directed by Michael Dinner, the Sony Pictures TV-produced project is an upstairs/downstairs look at the working men and women aboard an aircraft carrier. Given the setting, Fox and Sony TV had been looking to film the pilot on a Navy carrier. Speculation about the pilot being pushed first surfaced more than two weeks ago when it became clear that the carrier the producers were eying for the shoot would not be available until after pilot season. But around the same time, Tim McGraw, a top choice for the lead role, engaged, entering talks. The prospect of landing him made Fox and Sony TV put a pin in their plans to push production and instead explore alternative location options, including building some of the needed interiors onstage. But McGraw eventually walked away,...

Fox's Navy drama pilot The Wild Blue is being held at bay. Fox and studio Sony Pictures Television were in deep negotiations with Tim McGraw to star in the big swing and had considered alternate filming options in-season that would accommodate the country music star's tour schedule. The drama will now film out of the typical March-May pilot season window.

Remember Last Resort? It was a show about a U.S. Navy submarine that declared itself a sovereign nation that aired on ABC and didn’t garner much of an audience. But that’s okay, because if a show about a Naval crew didn’t work the first time, surely it will work the second time around! That must be Fox’s logic, otherwise why go ahead with a Navy drama pilot unless you were completely sure the problem with Last Resort had nothing to do with the presence of the Navy. Wild Blue will differ in that it takes place on a U.S. aircraft carrier and has cast Gina Rodriguez as the female lead. Sounds better already, doesn’t it?
Pardon my sarcasm – and congratulations to those who detected it. In all honesty, there’s no reason why Wild Blue couldn’t be great. According to the Hollywood Reporter,...
