“Another one bites the dust on ‘True Blood?'”
by Bry Schulz at Zoiks Online
The news has dropped that actress Carrie Preston will be joining the cast of CBS’s “The Good Wife” for a multi-episode arc. Preston has been on the popular HBO show “True Blood” for the past two seasons as Arlene. The casting news has a lot of people worried for the fate of Preston’s “True Blood” character on the show.
Does this mean she’ll be the next to fall prey to those sexy vamps? A “True Blood” insider says not to worry: “Arlene isn’t a major presence in the third book,” notes the source. “A lot of the action takes place outside of Bon Temps, so [Carrie] probably had some free time on her hands.” – ew.com

via Sci Fi Wire
We told you back in December that Syfy had picked up Sanctuary for a third season with a 20-episode order that would begin airing in the fall, so you’ve probably been wondering when the cast and crew would start shooting that third season. The answer is—now!
Season three picks up from the adrenaline-fueled action of season two, which raised the stakes for the brilliant scientist Dr. Helen Magnus (Amanda Tapping) and her team, who use their unique combination of instinct, medicine and cutting-edge science and technology to find and aid a clandestine population of beings that the world refuses to believe exist. Sanctuary also stars Robin Dunne as forensic psychiatrist Dr. Will Zimmerman, Agam Darshi as the quick-witted Kate Freelander, Ryan Robbins as tech wiz Henry Foss and Christopher Heyerdahl as the sinister John Druitt.
