TVLine Items: Kate Beckinsale Is Guilty Recast, Full Frontal Renewed and More

Kate Beckinsale is filling Isla Fisher’s shoes in Paramount+’s dark comedy Guilty Party, our sister site Deadline reports. (Fisher was originally cast in the lead role in March, but had to exit because of pandemic-related circumstances.)

The half-hour series follows Beth Baker (Beckinsale), “a discredited journalist desperate to salvage her career by latching on to the story of a young mother sentenced to life in prison for maiming and murdering her husband, crimes she claims she didn’t commit,” per the official logline. “In trying to uncover the truth, Beth finds herself in over her head as she contends with Colorado gun-smugglers, clickbait culture, the doldrums of marriage and her own tarnished past.”

Beckinsale is known for her big-screen roles in the Underworld franchise, Pearl Harbor and Serendipity, among other movies. She recently starred in the Amazon Prime series The Widow.
