Sarah Chalke Set to join Katherine Heigl in Netflix Series FIREFLY LANE
Last month, we reported that Katherine Heigl (Grey’s Anatomy, Suits) is set to star in and executive produce the upcoming Netflix drama series Firefly Lane. The series will follow the story of the bestselling Kristin Hannah novel and will be written and executive produced by Maggie Friedman, who will also serve as showrunner. The series and character description is as follows:
Firefly Lane centers on two inseparable best friends and their enduring, complicated bond, spanning four tumultuous decades.
Heigl will play Tully, a force of nature: magnetic, ambitious, reckless, and fiercely loyal. Still bearing the scars of a traumatic childhood, she is dogged by inner loneliness, even as she goes on to fabulous fame and fortune as a journalist and talk show host. Her saving grace is her best friend and soulmate, Kate, with whom she shares an unshakable bond.
The role of Kate has now been cast, with Sarah Chalke (Scrubs, How I Met Your Mother). Ben Lawson (Designated Survivor, 13 Reasons Why) will also star in the series as Kate’s ex-husband. This could end up being a good series, if you’re into this sort of thing. Firefly Lane is currently in pre-production.
