Share on Reddit


Hi everyone, below you will find all the casting announcements for the new pilot season. We'll try our best to keep this updated with all new casting as quickly as possible. If you find any that aren't posted, please do submit them in, anything from last year will likely have been added to the daily newsreel which you should also visit once in a while. Also, I recommend clicking the links to Deadline etc if you want more information (e.g. series synopsis) as I always link everything back so that function is there. I try to keep it to character descriptions for the castings so this article doesn't fill up too quickly.

Full details on pilot plots and castings for all pilots are available in the 2019 Full SpoilerTV Pilot Watch Spreadsheet.
