Katie Cassidy and Daisy Betts Go to Georgetown

Alright, drama junkies, we've got news from TV Line that a new pilot is in development. The ABC hour long drama is called Georgetown and will center around “the young people behind the power brokers of Washington, DC.” Think of it as Gossip Girl meets The West Wing.
The lead role is a character by the name of Andrew Pierce, portrayed by Lone Star actor James Wolk. It is a good thing that this young man is returning to television following Lone Star‘s cancellation. Pierce is described as “an effortlessly charming and brilliant Yale graduate and the youngest Presidential speech writer on record.”
Katie Cassidy has also won a role. She’ll be “Nikki, a smart and quick-witted junior staffer in the White House Communications Office with connections to the First Lady.” Here at BSC, we know Katie from multi-episode arcs on Gossip Girl, the Melrose Place reboot, Harper’s Island, and Supernatural. She also played a role on the big screen for Liam Neeson’s Taken and A Nightmare on Elm Street, also a reboot.
Persons Unknown actress Daisy Betts will also join the pair on the cast. She will play “Samantha, an idealistic young staffer for the Democratic President” who has a former romantic connection with Pierce. Betts was often riveting, in my humble opinion, on season one of Persons Unknown, a sci fi thriller you can now enjoy on Netflix.
