Jean Smart of "Designing Women" and "24" fame has been cast in the new USA comedy "Sirens," HuffPost TV has exclusively learned.
"Sirens," a half-hour comedy from Denis Leary ("Rescue Me") and Bob Fisher ("Wedding Crashers"), is about three Chicago EMTs, Johnny (Michael Mosley), Hank (Kevin Daniels) and Brian (Kevin Bigley), who are immature or irresponsible in their personal lives but very good at their jobs.
Smart will recur in the series, which is in production in Chicago, as the mother of Johnny, who's played by former "Pan Am" and "Last Resort" star Mosley. HuffPost TV can also reveal that Johnny's father, John Sr., a former Chicago firefighter who wants to repair his relationship with his son, will be played by "Rescue Me" veteran Lenny Clarke.

I loved the original British series, disappointed it only had one season.
ReplyDeleteI really like Jean Smart but this screams stupid comedy with doltish leads.
ReplyDeleteOh so it is a remake! I knew the premise sounded way to familiar....
ReplyDeleteAlways great to see her.... not too sure this show is going anywhere....
ReplyDeleteI like Jean Smart. I liked her acting and characters in everything I've seen her in. I'm not sure how well this show will fare, but hope she gets on a few more shows, that last.
