TVLine Items: Alyssa Milano’s Lifetime Comedy, Futurama on Syfy and More
Lifetime wants Alyssa Milano for Mayor.
The Mistresses and Charmed actress is developing a scripted comedy series in the vein of Curb Your Enthusiasm for the cable network, our sister site Deadline reports.
In addition to executive-producing, Milano would star as herself in the project, which finds her becoming the mayor of a suburban L.A. town and dealing with the minutiae of community politics.
In other Milano news, the actress has been promoted to series regular on the CW pilot-turned-Netflix series Insatiable.

Thank you!!! I was on vaca that week and totally missed it!
Meh…this project seems unnecessary coming on the heels of ABC’s The Mayor. Very curious about Insatiable, though. Its a pilot shrouded in mystery. Very excited it got picked up by Netflix after The CW passed on it.
So looking foward to the 2nd season of “divorce”… the trailer looks great…january cant come soon enough
