FALL 2013: NBC 'PARKS AND REC' PREPS TWO STARS' EXITS; 'NASHVILLE' ADDS NEW ROLE
The Fall 2013 hasn't even started yet and there are already casting shake-ups and rumblings being felt on the television landscape.
Parks and Recreation fans will only have 13 episodes left to enjoy the Chris Traeger and Ann Perkins coupling. Rob Lowe and original cast member Rashida Jones will be departing the NBC comedy midway through the season, their last episode will most likely air in February. Last spring's season finale saw Chris and Ann trying hard to have a baby. From all indications, that storyline will be the set up for the first half of the upcoming season and will hopefully set up the off-again, on-again couple on a shared ride into the sunset. The exits aren't necessarily too surprising since both actors have other projects in the works; Jones is penning a script for her development deal with Warner Bros. Television and Lowe is focusing on the impending release of Killing Kennedy, a movie set to premiere on Nat Geo where the actor tackles the lead role of John F. Kennedy.
Oliver Hudson sure knows how to land on his feet and find new work. The former star of CBS' surprisingly long lasting comedy Rules of Engagement wasn't left in limbo too long after the show's cancellation last May. The actor has been picked up for a recurring role on ABC's Nashville. Hudson will play a record label executive who will be thrown into the Deacon/Rayna storyline for the show's sophmore season. It's no secret that the two lead characters will survive the car accident cliffhanger from last season and the show will jump forward several months when it starts up again on September 25.
