Antenna TV Adds Six Series in November 2013; Jennie Garth Joins Tori Spelling Sitcom Pilot for ABC Family
ABC Family has cast Jennie Garth to join former Beverly Hills 90210 co-star Tori Spelling in the network's comedy pilot, Mystery Girls. Both Spelling and Garth will also serve as executive producers. The casting marks a reunion of the two from their days on the hit series. The Mystery Girls pilot, starring Tori Spelling and Jennie Garth, follows a former starlet who is roped into solving crimes with her former mystery TV show co-star when a witness to a crime will only speak to the infamous 'Mystery Girls,' which was the highest rated program of the '90s. Spelling will play Holly, who is desperate to regain her former fame and plans to resurrect her life by using her acting skills and crime "experience" to open a detective agency. Now she just has to get Charlie (played by Jennie Garth), her former co-star-turned suburban housewife and mother, on board with the plan. Tori Spelling, Jennie Garth and Maggie Malina (Single Ladies) will serve as executive producers. The story is by Tori Spelling and Shepard Boucher (Men at Work). The pilot was written by Shepard Boucher. Mystery Girls is scheduled to shoot in November. This is just a pilot order, so stay with us if the pilot is picked-up to series or not. We don't know if this pilot will be a single-camera comedy or a traditional multi-camera sitcom, but it is favoring a single-camera feel.
