20:05 - Haters Back Off - Erik Stocklin Cast in Miranda Sing’s Netflix Series
Erik Stocklin (Stalker) has been cast opposite Colleen Ballinger-Evans in Netflix’s new comedy series Haters Back Off. Based on the YouTube personality’s most popular character, Miranda Sings, Haters Back Off delves into the oddball family life of Miranda Sings (Ballinger-Evans), an incredibly confident, totally untalented star on the rise who continues to fail upward by the power of her belief that she was born famous, it’s just no one knows it yet.
Stocklin will play Patrick, Miranda’s neighbor and best friend. He’s madly in love with Miranda, but to this point, Miranda has never acknowledged or reciprocated his feelings. Stocklin recurred on CBS’ Stalker last season and previously appeared on Mistresses. He’s repped by Domain and JC Robbins Management.

04:20 - Law and Order: SVU - Rick Eid Named New Showrunner
Thanks to Henriksson for the heads up.
Rick Eid is joining Dick Wolf’s veteran NBC crime drama Law & Order: SVU as executive producer and showrunner for the upcoming 18th season. He will succeed Warren Leight, who a year ago inked an overall deal with Sony TV but stayed on as SVU showrunner for its current 17th season. For Eid, the SVU gig will fall under a two-year overall deal he has signed with Universal TV, the studio behind the Law & Order franchise.
This marks Eid’s return to the Dick Wolf camp, having previously served as co-executive producer on the mothership Law & Order series and co-created Conviction for NBC. Eid recently served as executive producer on CBS’ Hostages and showrunner on TNT’s Dark Blue.
“I’m extremely pleased that Rick had decided to rejoin the family and hope that he will be here for years to come,” said Wolf, the Law & Order: SVU creator and executive producer.
