GIRLS ON THE BUS, THE (The CW) - Julie Plec and Amy Chozick's adaptation of the latter's novel "Chasing Hillary," in which four female journalists follow a parade of flawed presidential candidates, has found a new home at The CW.

OLGA DIES DREAMING (Hulu) - Wanda De Jesús has booked a role on the Aubrey Plaza/Ramón Rodríguez-led drama pilot as Blanca Acevedo, "a former Young Lord turned radical activist, who is brilliant and uncompromising.

Gonzalez is Ash, "a handsome transgender student at Millwood High and romantic interest to Minnie (Malia Pyles)"; with Cook as Henry, "an arrogant, yet deeply talented ballerino at Millwood high and partner to Faran (Zaria)... on and off the stage." Kacavas then is Greg, "Karen's (Mallory Bechtel) picture-perfect boyfriend by day. By night, they share a secretly tumultuous relationship echoing that of Karen's own parents." And Greene is Zeke, "Faran's adoring father. Zeke struggles to navigate the hardscrabble world of the steel mill and the frilly, feminine world of ballet that his daughter inhabits." (Deadline.com)
SPRUNG (IMDb TV) - Martha Plimpton has been tapped for a season-long arc on the series as "Rooster's mom Barb, replacing Ileana Douglas, who originally was cast in the role. The decision to recast was made due to a creative change to the character." (Deadline.com)

TOPANGALAND (CBS, New!) - Scott Caan is attached to star in a new drama at the network in which "a laid-back ex-cop (Caan) works for his legendary father's private detective agency, solving cases that take him from Malibu mansions to Topanga hippie communes to Venice back alleys and everywhere in between - all while navigating a thorny relationship with his dad and the rest of his unconventional family." Caan will also pen the hour alongside Benjamin Cavell with Jerry Bruckheimer, Jonathan Littman and KristieAnne Reed of Jerry Bruckheimer Television also executive producing for CBS Studios. (Deadline.com)
