Buffyverse alum Eliza Dushku (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel) has announced on her official Facebook profile that she is coming back to TV this Fall. Eliza, who last starred on the Joss Whedon show Dollhouse on Fox, broke the news yesterday that she will be filming a comedy pilot with Damon Wayans for CBS. As you may recall, we learned back in January that Sarah Michelle Gellar landed a Fall pilot of her own for CBS … so it looks like the network (which is home to How I Met Your Mother starring Alyson Hannigan) is the new home for Buffyverse alums.
From Eliza‘s Facebook: It is with insanest excitement & awesomeness I get to finally fill you guys in: I’ve JUST landed a new CBS comedy pilot w/ my comic idol Mr. Damon Wayans! Stay tuned, there is a serious happy dance occurring at the moment ;) xx!
From Deadline: In her first regular comedy gig, Eliza Dushku is set as the female lead opposite Damon Wayans in CBS’ untitled sports radio show pilot. The multicamera comedy, from veteran writer-producers Bill Martin and Mike Schiff, is inspired by ESPN personality Colin Cowherd’s outspoken sports talk show. It centers on Nick (Wayans), an egotistical sports-radio host with a quick wit and cocky likability who is adored by his fans. Dushku will play Nick’s radio cohort Casey, a fun, quick-witted gal who is socially oblivious and pathologically blunt. Dushku, repped by UTA and The Collective, is best known for her roles on dramas Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Tru Calling and Dollhouse. She recently guest starred on another CBS multicamera comedy, The Big Bang Theory.
YES!!! This is such great news!! I love Eliza and I’m glad to learn that she will be returning to TV this Fall. I think it’ll be nice to see her in a comedic role rather than the broody dramatic and sci-fi-related projects she is mostly known for. One of my fave movies is the comedy Bring It On and Eliza is amazingly funny in that film. This is very happy news! Now Eliza will join Aly and SMG at CBS … how amazing is that? Long live the Buffyverse!!
