New series for Richard Burgi?

[janedavitt]

Heard this news on the lists from the RBFC (thanks, MJ!) and am passing it on: RB is filming a new series in the Vancouver area, called Harper's Island. There was a pilot and then some recasting and he's now 'the family patriarch'.

She included this quotation from the Futon Critic:

"The new drama, HARPER'S ISLAND, is a murder mystery that unfolds as
friends and family attend week-long festivities at a destination wedding
on a secluded and picturesque island off the coast of Seattle, infamous
for a homicidal maniac's rampage seven years ago."

and said that it has some Supernatural actors: Kate Cassidy and Jim Beaver (and Elaine Cassidy; are the two related? I'm so clueless).

CBS have ordered 13 episodes and it's going to air mid-season; maybe early next year?

Fingers crossed, anyway.

ETA I found the trailer for the pilot.
