Charles is gecast in de reboot van de serie ‘Early Edition’ voor CBS.

NCIS: New Orleans alum Charles Michael Davis, Jay Ali (Magnum P.I.) and Fiona Rene (I Know What You Did Last Summer) have been cast as series regulars opposite Alice Eve in CBS’ drama pilot Early Edition, a gender-swapped reboot of the late-1990s series headlined by Kyle Chandler.

Written by Melissa Glenn, the new Early Edition follows Beth (Eve), an ambitious but uncompromising journalist working as executive producer at a Seattle TV news station, who starts receiving tomorrow’s newspaper today and finds herself in the complicated business of changing the news instead of reporting it.

Ali will play Anthony, Beth’s news director and good friend. Anthony strives to find balance, a nearly impossible task amidst the chaos of a newsroom, but he knows his version of an ideal life would be something that includes Beth. He cares very deeply for her, so much so that he hires his Army contact – Derick – to protect Beth during this tumultuous time.

Derick, played by Davis, is a former cop who served in Afghanistan without incident, but on his return home he was injured on the job and forced to retire. He’s a man of action but has been forced to the sidelines. He now joins Beth as a temporary “bodyguard” while she navigates the aftermath of previous events, and with that, he is unknowingly thrown into the mystery of the newspaper.

Rene plays Trina, a close friend of Beth’s and one of the reporters at her local news station. She survived a troubled childhood, but she came out stronger, full of heart and charm. Trina brings her quirky beliefs to the newspaper trio, balancing out the skepticism of Derick and the hard and fast pace of Beth.

Glenn executive produces the reboot with DeVon Franklin via Franklin Entertainment and Bob Brush, who developed the original. Franklin Entertainment’s Jenna Nicholson is co-exec producer of the project, which comes from Sony Pictures Television and Affirm Television, Sony TV and Affirm Films’ co-venture for family, faith, inspirational and aspirational content, in association with CBS Studios.

This marks Davis’ return to CBS after a series-regular stint on the last two seasons of NCIS: New Orleans. Prior to that, he was a series regular on the CW’s The Originals and TV Land’s Younger. He is repped by Gersh and Mary Erickson Management.

Ali most recently had a major recurring role on CBS’ Magnum P.I. His series credits also include Prime Video’s Carnival Row and Marvel’s Daredevil. He’s repped by Cultivate Entertainment and attorney Meyer & Downs.

Rene most recently starred in the Prime Video series I Know What You Did Last Summer and will next appear on Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer. Her additional credits include SWAT, NCIS: Hawai’i and Stumptown. She is repped by Encompass and LG Management.

Charles zal beperkt tot minimaal te zien zijn in het zevende seizoen van ‘Younger’ door andere verplichtingen en de corona-maatregelen wat het voor hem niet mogelijk om als vast castlid terug te keren in het laatste seizoen van de serie.

When Younger arrives on Paramount+ for its final season next month, two key characters will be spending less time in Liza’s orbit.

The first four episodes of Season 7 will hit the streaming service on Thursday, April 15, with the remaining episodes scheduled to drop weekly on Thursdays, Paramount+ announced today. (Update: These episodes will also be available on Hulu, following the same schedule.) The entire seventh season will also air on TV Land later this year.

But TVLine has learned exclusively that previous regulars Miriam Shor (Diana Trout) and Charles Michael Davis (Zane Anders) will only appear in a recurring capacity.

“Due to scheduling and Covid related matters, Miriam Shor and Charles Michael Davis were unable to be season seven cast regulars,” series creator Darren Star tells TVLine in a statement. “However, they will always be a much loved and integral part of the Younger family and have added so much heart and soul to the series.”

Shor has been a regular since Younger premiered on TV Land in 2015, while Davis was promoted in 2018 after recurring in Season 4. The show’s sixth season finale witnessed Diana’s wedding to Enzo, a romantic event that also brought Zane closer to Kelsey.

“In the final season, Liza’s personal life is on shaky ground as she tries to stay true to herself,” according to the official logline. “After a setback at work, Kelsey doubts her career decisions and discovers a new creative outlet. Maggie gets cancelled.”
