Tucson Style

This shot was taken at 207/209 Simpson Street in Tucson, Arizona. I did a reverse search on a detail of the interesting automobile: it appears that this is a '49 or '50 Packard.

Reese Witherspoon/Kerry Washington Limited Series Lands at Hulu

Count this as a huge victory for Hulu in the Great Streaming Wars: The streaming service has landed the buzzy Reese Witherspoon/Kerry Washington limited series Little Fires Everywhere with a straight-to-series order, TVLine has learned.

The series, first announced earlier this month, is based on the Celeste Ng bestseller and will star Witherspoon and Washington. (The duo will both serve as executive producers as well.) It’s set in the upscale community of Shaker Heights, Ohio, in the 1990s and follows what happens after a single mother and her teenage daughter rent a home nearby. Liz Tigelaar (Casual) will write the series and serve as showrunner.

'Man of the House' is a multicamera family comedy pilot, the network's 10th half-hour of the season.

Alyson Hannigan is plotting her primetime return.

The Buffy and How I Met Your Mother grad has been tapped to star in ABC's Man of the House, a multi-camera/hybrid comedy exec produced by Scandal star Kerry Washington.

The pilot, which received a late-season order Thursday, revolves around two recently divorced sisters who decide to move in together to raise their kids under one roof. The oldest kid and only son is left to figure out what manhood means in a world where he's now completely surrounded by females.

Hannigan will portray Jessie, a caring social-worker who was shocked when her husband left her. With nowhere else to turn, and against her better judgment, she moves her teenage football-star son and preteen daughter into the home of her narcissistic, ball-busting sister Charli and her even more-wicked daughter.

Frank Pines (Baby Daddy) and Vijal Patel (The Mayor, Black-ish) penned the script and exec produce alongside The Jackal Group's Gail Berman and Joe Earley, Washington and her ABC Studios-based Simpson Street banner, with the company's Pilar Savone also on board.

Overall, this is ABC's 10th half-hour comedy pilot order (down one year-over-year) of the season and third multicamera (up one vs. last season). All told, ABC now has 23 comedy and drama pilots this season — off one from 2017.

Man of the House marks Hannigan's latest TV foray. She spent the summer hosting The CW's Penn & Teller's Fool Us. She last filmed TV Land/Paramount Network's First Wives Club reboot. Man of the House reunites Hannigan with Berman, who helped get Buffy on the air and exec produced the Joss Whedon cult hit. Hannigan is repped by APA and Joel McKuin.

For Washington, this is the first pilot order that stems from her overall deal with ABC Studios and comes as the Emmy-nominated actress is wrapping production on the network's seventh and final season of Shondaland-produced drama Scandal. On the producing side, her credits include HBO's Emmy-nominated Confirmation and Facebook Watch series Five Points. She's repped by CAA, Washington Square Arts, and Gretchen Bruggeman Rush.

The Jackal Group is currently producing a Netflix unscripted series from organizational expert Marie Kondo and in development on multiple other scripted TV and film projects.

Kerry Washington wants to do another superhero movie.

The 40-year-old actress previously starred as Alicia Masters in 2005's 'Fantastic Four' and its 2007 sequel 'Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer', and has said she'd "love" the opportunity to "break new ground" by telling a story which "hasn't been told".

She said: "I would definitely be open to doing another superhero movie. My company is actually working right now on a comic book movie that's not a superhero movie, but it is a comic book movie. It's about a teenage girl. But I ... you know, I'm really open. I'm really open. I feel like the landscape is so open in terms of, you know, casting against type when it comes to you know to even gender, race, so I'd love to do it. I'd love to be a part of another franchise like that. I'd love to kind of break new ground and tell a new story that hasn't been told, so I'd love to do it."

And the 'Confirmation' actress insisted she is a "fan" of superhero movies because they help "get to the core of our humanity" by presenting individuals who are thought to be "the best versions of humans".

She added to ScreenRant.com: "I feel like the thing about comics and animated films are because somehow we are suspending our disbelief because to enter into an alternate universe, we're able to get to the core of our humanity. I don't know how that is, but when you take humans beings out of the question or kind of push them to the side, so how our themes with being the best versions of humans you can become more clear, so I'm into it. I love it. I'm a fan."
