According to Michael Ausiello at Entertainment Weekly, actress Elizabeth Mitchell will not be back in Season 6 as a full-time castmember. However, Ausiello also says, “Multiple sources confirm that the actress is expected to appear in an unspecified number of episodes next season.” I have no idea what that means for the fate of Juliet Burke, but I’m glad she’s not gone forever.
In related news, ABC announced in its “upfront” presentation of new shows for Fall 2009 that its remake of the alien invasion saga V has been picked up as a series and will debut sometime midseason. Which, by the way, puts it right smack-dab around the same time that Lost returns for Season 6. (Would you watch a two-hour block of Lost and V back-to-back?) Also included in the presentation was news that Elizabeth Mitchell is not a mere guest star, as previously reported, but is in fact the ensemble’s lead character, Erica Evans. Evans is rumored to be the leader of the human resistance against the alien invasion. The full cast is shown in an ABC promotional image, at right. Some early peeks at the pilot episode for V are below.
Not included in ABC’s renewals for Fall is Harold Perrineau‘s new cop drama, The Unusuals. Perrineau is remembered by Lost fans as Michael Dawson.
