TVLine Items: Suits Casts Mike’s Prison Crew, Expanse Fills Key Role and More
Malcolm-Jamal Warner, a different kind of crime story awaits you at USA Network.
The TV vet, who recently appeared in FX’s The People v. O.J. Simpson and has recurred on Major Crimes, will recur on Suits‘ upcoming sixth season, which finds Mike headed to jail.
Per our sister site Deadline, Warner will show up as Danbury Prison’s counselor, who must help inmates survive their time in prison and guide them toward rehabilitation.
Additionally, Erik Palladino (ER) and Paul Schulze (Nurse Jackie) will also recur on Season 6, respectively playing Kevin Miller and Frank Gallo, two of Mike’s fellow inmates.

* Bravo announced Thursday that it has renewed The Real Housewives of Potomac for Season 2.
* If you’re in the mood for a new Preacher teaser, AMC has released another promo for its upcoming drama series, which debuts Sunday, May 22. Watch it below:
Suits! when is Amy Acker coming back? Harvey owes Esther an explanation and an apology and I miss her overall.
I’ve been dying to know who they were casting as Bobbie Draper. Thanks to her name and height, I always pictured her as Adrienne Palicki while reading the books. This is an interesting choice.
They could have gone for Jared Gilmore, who portrayed the character on Mad Men.
Anybody? No?
*crickets*
I was thinking more Julia Benson
That promo for Preacher told me nothing about the show.
I really hoped they were going to do a time jump to cover Mike’s prison time. Really don’t see how it will be interesting at all.
If the past 5 season are any indication season 6 will be awesome. Have faith in the writers. Although I personally have less faith in the casting director. Not a fan of Erik Palladino. But having Malcolm Jamal Warner should be good.
Does anyone know what’s happening with Flipping Out?
Love The Real Housewives of Potomac!
